I recently returned from a week long visiting artist gig at Northern Illinois University (my alma mater). I made a print of Alois Senefelder (inventor of lithography), did an artist talk, sat in on several grad student critiques, and got to return to my favorite college bar in DeKalb, the Annex.
All of the art that I’ve been making for the last 9 years started with this portrait of President Barack Obama. I am going to miss him and his family more than I will ever be able to fully express. This article in the LA Times was published January 17th, 2009.
