Gay Landscape / studio assistant
A small yarn tapestry of a brightly colored landscape of a setting sun. The foreground is made of wiggly stripes in pink, orange and teal. The sky is a wiggly gradient of light green to dark teal. Cartoon stars are embroidered over the woven sky. Artist POV of the tapestry in progress on an improvised loom. A small black and white dog has climbed into the artists lap in front of the loom.

Happy Holidays
Professor Layton collapsed on the ground with a menorah and dreidel. Text reads: My injuries were so meshuga, I was hanukkah for eight crazy nights. I was lucky to be alive.

The movement in the water is finally coming out in my newest woodcut, Light’s Last II. Inspired by an image I took shortly after the boat turned sharply, I love how the waves in this print imply the boat without actually depicting it!

Proofing today, I love it when a plan comes together 😜

This is just two blocks but uses a zillion rollers to lay in the gradients 👍 somehow, the results justify all the cleanup 🙂‍↕️

A linocut print of a smug tiger in a pond. In the background, there are two large sunflowers and a cluster of cattails. The surface of the water shows a distorted reflection of the tiger and cattails.

A 5 panel comic strip: Title panel: Butch is eating out Bimbo on a bed. Bimbo says “Oh Butch!” Follow by floating text that says “& Bimbo”. Olivia Cruz author name. 1st panel: Bimbo and butch are sitting on the bed. Bimbo is naked and butch is pulling on a shirt. Bimbo says, “So, Butch you must have a pretty good understanding of your gender.” Butch says, “Whad’ya Mean?” 2nd panel: Butch is rooting through her shorts’ back pocket. Bimbo says, “I mean, you’re so masculine and your own woman. You must be so in touch with your gender.” 3rd panel: Butch is lighting a cigarette and says “Not really.” Bimbo says “What?!” 4th panel: wide shot of them both sitting on the edge of the bed while Butch smokes. Bimbo says, “How did you know you were butch then?” 5th, finale panel: Butch says, “None of the dresses fir me.” And bimbo falls over with her legs up.

Getting busy with the press this month!!
4 rows of assorted patches hung on lines with clothes pins. The fabric is blue, black and pink, printed with white or navy ink. The designs are of a tiger, a tiger in water, a dog with long wiggly legs and mushrooms and weed leaves with little running legs.
