It is still rework time, so again with the collage and more… plus art burning has happened.

Today is the Solstice, and this provided a great opportunity for me to fire up a small pile of discarded prints, sketches, and copies of art work! I rolled up some 7 or 8 smaller batches of paper and taped them into fire starter “logs” for safe burning. Then I sacrificed these unwanted remnants of art to community on the neighborhood Solstice bonfire. Quite fun!

Meanwhile back at the studio several small older works are getting a bit of a cleanup, a digital variant, :

So above you can see what was once a Valentine’s Day collage for cats, now re-imagined for Solstice, and also now with a digital foil version. In the center is a pen & ink doodle that I rather like, with the digital foil below it. I finished up an incomplete drawing inspired by book burning, and added a few finishing details to a colorful blue water print from long ago. These are now stored in one of my new folios for safe keeping.

But yes, again with the collage. I have been creating holiday cards with bits and pieces of older artworks, using my paper cutters (straight and circular) to add layers to odd prints and sketches.
