Diana Sudyka- Morris's Nest


This amazing Etching by Diana Sudyka is now sold out, but it needs to be looked at more , so here are some photos and info. Diana's work is always masterful, this one is bittersweet.

"This is a 2 color (meaning 2 plate) copper etching that I made while visiting a print shop at Edinboro University in PA. The image is based loosely on a series engravings from an 1875 edition of Francis Orpen Morris, A Natural History of the Nests & Eggs of British Birds. I've always been mesmerized by how the eggs eerily levitate about their nests in the images. The plates are printed up in a dark sepia brown (nest and background texture), and a robin's egg blue. They were printed by hand on a beautiful Takach intaglio press here in Chicago. The edition size is 18, and I have 13 available to sell. It's printed on a heavy weight, cream colored, cotton rag paper.

This print is a benefit print, meaning that 100% of the sales will go to help out a friend of mine. He lost his wife suddenly, under tragic circumstances in the first week of June 2009. The print is named in her honor as well as that of F.O. Morris. "

The Facts:

-2 color copper plate etching printed by hand

-paper size: 15.5 x 19.5 inches

-image size: 7.5 x 9 inches

-Printed on heavyweight, cotton rag, cream white Hahnemüle german etch paper

Steve Walters New Posters



Trust me. The new work that Steve Walters (Screwball press) has been doing is freaking mindblowing in person. I see it develop every day as I share printing space with him and the work is right on. Check out these 2 new ones for Fucked Up : (printed on translucent paper w/ patient card attached like a real X-Ray) and Big Business. Irreverent and superbly crafted as is to be expected. The Fucked Up poster is available for sale, although not many are left.

Sonnenzimmer-The Books
