403 - T-shirts

1. WearScience
Jeremy Kalgreen is an artist, photographer and t-shirt designer.

2. UFO Pyramid
he's been offering these awesome shirts that promote science and poke fun at "creation science".

3. I've Had a Few
His regular t-shirt shop offers some great non-sciencey designs as well.

4. Dark Energy
But it seems like Jeremey must be a true geek cause he keeps coming back to stuff like this.

5. Artsfest
All this t-shirt talk reminds me: If you are in the south Chicago area, you should come tho Governor State University's artfest. There are tons of arty events going on all day. I'll be helping visitors design and print their own shirts.

279 - with Links!

Vova Galchenko

1. Vova Galchenko
I've posted before about the Galchenkos. They are awe inspiring jugglers to be sure. On top of that they are super smart kids. Vova recently became a permanent legal resident of the United States. This can only be a good thing for our country. We need more rational thinkers. If they can also juggle five clubs behind their backs, well then, that's just a bonus.

Brick

2. Brick
The making of a lego brick.

Jay Ryan

3. Jay Ryan
I love Dianogah. Even more than that, I love Jay Ryan's awesome screen printed rock show posters.

Wavy

4. Wavy
I'm sure you've seen this already. It was all over the internet a while ago. Still it is pretty cool and I wanted to look at it again, so here it is: The Folding Chair.

Digital Bird Watching

5. Digital Bird Watching
A very specific number of this site's visitors should know about this innovative use of the ipod for aid in the bird watching process. You probably know about it already, though.

223 - Casey Sorrow

No Quarter

1. No Quarter
While looking for block prints for last week's Etsy Monday, I came across Casey Sorrow's shop.

Jetsam

2. Jetsam
I wanted to include one of his works with the other prints, but then decided to give this SCUBA series an entire post.

Flotsam

3. Flotsam
Most of Casey's designs are inspired by vintage genre comics which have a graphic quality that lends itself well to the linoleum block cutting technique.

'Fathom 1

4. Fathom 1
His prints of war scenes are equally impressive.

Fathom 2

5. Fathom 2
Also check out Casey's webcomic, Feral Calf, as well as his blog, A Fiend's Folio.

216 - Etsy Prints

Nude Lying on a Sofa

1. Nude Lying on a Sofa
In honor of the printmaking class I just started, I'm picking a few nice wood block and linoleum prints on Etsy. First is a linocut by Natalia Moroz who has a whole shop full of great prints

Along the Cabot Trail

2. Along the Cabot Trail
Magprint is another linocutter making nice prints.

Hillside

3. Hillside
Kris Shanks has a collection of woodblock and linocuts for sale as well as some very nice original still life oil paintings.

'BBQ

4. BBQ
Jonathan Apgar seems to be a screenprinter primarily, but his shop has a few sweet block prints in it as well.

Untitled

5. Untitled
This print by Connie Pierson has a softly refined quality not often seen in block prints. The fact that is is cut from wood rather than linoleum makes it all the more impresive.

Pebbles Koi

1. Pebbles Koi
Dennis Finley of artdecoco has a lot of really nice looking koi pond paintings for ridiculously low prices.

Palm Pendant

2. Palm Pendant
I really like this slightly creepy, carved bone necklace from The Bead Fantasy.

Fenced In

3. Fenced In
Although Maeve paints in a few different styles, and has a lot of paintings available, these jumbled, abstracted city scapes are the ones that I like most.

She Loves Being A Mom

4. She Loves Being A Mom
Alison Strine has tons of cool stuff in her shop. I especially enjoy these bird head collage pendants and her license plate charms.

Bird on Cherry Blossom Pillow

5. Bird on Cherry Blossom Pillow
I love these screenprinted pillows from Joom. She could probably make them in custom colors to fit your decor.

166 - Pistoles Press

Diligence is the Source of Empowerment

1. Diligence is the Source of Empowerment
Lana Lambert is a block printer and printing press collector in Virginia

Untitled 3

2. Untitled 3
Her print work is inspired by Japanese woodblock techniques, and seems to have an Arts and Crafts influence as well.

Arbouricon I

3. Arbouricon I
All of her work invokes images of nature and is "....made to show an individual a moment in time in a forest."

Arbouricon II

4. Arbouricon II
In my eyes, however, her greatest accomplishment comes in the form of altered books and papercuts.

Scholar's Reference

5. Scholar's Reference
These book sculptures features the alteration of thick hardcover tomes, or papercut pages bound together in between wooden covers.

154 - M. Lee

Cat Tails

1. Cat Tails
Marissa Lee is a fine art printmaker living and working in Boston.

Reaching Out

2. Reaching Out
Her original works often blend non-representational expressionism with abstractions of natural subjects.

Fall

3. Fall
She uses traditional woodcutting techniques to create her distinctly non-traditional multi-layered prints.

Springtime Willow

4. Springtime Willow
Although all of M. Lee's prints are exceptionally affordable, she also offers smaller original works, as well as jewelry and other accessories, for those on a limited budget.

Birds in the Spring

5. Birds in the Spring
Check out her etsy shop to browse, as well as her gallery website and flickr account to learn more about her techniques.
