My Art in the Time of a Pandemic
Ordering supplies during the pandemic
I must talk about ordering art supplies during the pandemic. In February I was commissioned to create original art for Baltimore Center Stage. I knew I wanted to hand carve all images on linoleum and then print them on paper. Art stores began closing in March and by April, I realized I wasn't going to be able to order enough linoleum to finish the projects.
Fortunately, I purchased a roll (12" by 90 ft) of linoleum in 2019 and I had about 45 feet left. I used every inch of linoleum for the posters. For some of the posters, I incorporated other printmaking techniques such as silkscreening and mono printing.
I love the results.
