well, that didn’t take long. finished. actually, the plate I’ve had prepped and waiting for an image for at least 3 years. THIS is why they’ll find me in a hoarder-house someday. Mind you, it’ll be hoarded full of artsy-farts material waiting to be ‘podged together.
Anyways, this is a plate with a gel-medium transferred image. The image is three images cobbled together via photoshop.
just something new, using something old. I’m thinking this will go on a plate.
medium transfer
paint/screenprint on epoxied panel
transfer/screenprint on collage
gel medium over collage transfer
paint with gel medium glitter print
Doesn’t look like much has gone on for like….a year? Well, nope. Stuff has gone on. “stuff”, like, say a total of 10+ new pieces that aren’t up on the site. That’s just silly of me. Been really working on developing a printing-style process of creating collage using gel-medium transfer techniques. But then I go and throw paint down, then I go and see something in it, then I have to go and chase that for a while. Not a lot of work this year, but the process behind the work has been generous.
If you don’t know about gel medium transfers, well, there’s like a million different ways and means, and I have definitely got some opinions on the matter, but here. This link is a pretty decent start. I’ll have to make a tutorial sometime…

Is obscurity itself the test tubes of tomorrow? Or is just the testing done to pave the way of sorrow? Is the chalice set upon the table for the bride of prima donnas? Or can indeed, the world be freed by finger popping mommas? Is the confusion of immorality little more than a doubt on the face of infinity? Or does indeed immorality feed upon itself And hence hasten to speed it’s own mortal conclusion? Is the scent of melting tin upon the tracks of time The mere excuse for letting loose the calling cards of crime? Or is this verbose verbosity that very violation? Does not the babbling brook run its way to oceans and streams Only to dry up and rain once more? -from “the knife fight” by THE RESIDENTS off of ‘WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VILENESS FATS’
This piece comes to you by Divergent Thinking. The question after the answer, The solution from the making. Materials arrived at a time when issues had to be addressed and were used accordingly without hesitation, which created new issues which were then pursued. The background, made nearly a year before the rest, are circle punchouts from a bunch of CD covers mostly 90’s rock/pop/etc., randomly placed. Somewhere there’s a GIF file showing the placement.
