This summer I made a mural using vertical screen printing techniques I recently learned from my friend Stefan Hoffmann. The content of the mural was appropriated from images in the Edwin and Terry Murray Comic Book Collection found in the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library at Duke (+ from a Steve Ditko monograph and Love and Rockets, New Stories No. 1 by the Hernandez brothers). In the past four years I’ve been using the Murray Collection as a teaching tool and resource for my Art of the Comic Book and Zines class. It’s an amazing resource with over 75,000 comics! I really enjoyed making the mural and plan to make more in the future using some of my original stuff. For more info on vertical screen printing go to: www.verticalscreenprinting.com

If you happen to be in West Texas, Lubbock in particular, drop by the Museum of Texas Tech University to see the ColorPrint USA 40th Anniversary exhibition. My Yummy #3 is part of the show. Dates: March 7 – May 9.
Here’s a bit more info:
“For four decades ColorPrint USA exhibitions gathered together exemplary cross-sections of fine art prints. Through the foresight and creative direction of Lynwood Kreneck, these sometimes annual, sometimes biennial, and sometimes triennial showcases of contemporary art brought to West Texas many of the most persuasive, famous, and compelling creative efforts of American and, at times, European, printmakers. The Museum of Texas Tech University now houses the ColorPrint USA collection. Through 65 works curated from this collection, this exhibition celebrates and refocuses attention on the singular importance of ColorPrint’s 40 year history.”
