I used "Unsharp Mask" in Photoshop Elements 2021 to bring up the contrast in all the figures above.

A while back John Tollett recommended that I use "Unsharp Mask" in Photoshop to enhance my drawings.  Below is an example of the difference:  the first image just heightens the contrast, and the second image is after applying "Unsharp Mask":

EL PASO

I spent Christmas in El Paso.

Before I left, Manuel Guerra pulled a print from the linoleum that I laser cut at Quelab in Albuquerque:

Jorge Perez (Yorch) just painted a huge mural on the side of the Rio Grande.  Anyone walking across the bridge into Juarez from downtown El Paso can't miss seeing it:



The mural is a reworking of the same image he created for the prints he made for us in 2017, for the Postre Prints Exhibition at the Purple Pop-up Gallery on San Jacinto Plaza in El Paso.
