PRINTS

My drawing from the last pose

to be carved

I carved the linoleum the next day

at Little Bear Coffee in Nob Hill

(the first night they stayed open late, until 9 PM)

I printed this on March 19th

using a Tortilla Press

BUCKET EXHIBTIONS

I hung a pop-up show of five prints during the drawing session:

The five 8 x 8 inch prints

 in that night's BUCKET EXHIBITION

I also handed out more 6 x 6 inch linoleum squares.  Babi Soto drew the model on one of the squares and almost finished carving it before the session ended.

drew and carved during the drawing session

I also brought the Tortilla Press and printed in the back room.  However Babi Soto did not finish in time to get her piece printed.  Nevertheless I will be bringing the Tortilla Press for every Thursday night session for the coming months, until I get tired of it.

Babi Soto did  not finish before the session ended

but she got a good start

Bill Reynolds also drew the model

on a 6 x 6 inch linoleum square

Henry Morales showed off some of his prints in the back room, where we were printing:

EL PASO

Manuel Guerra also put on a BUCKET EXHIBITION in El Paso, at Alameda Art Salvage studio in El Paso, adjacent to the Horned Toad Prints studio. These are of the prints we made during the Ambos Lados opening in Albuquerque on February 6th, 2022.  He said that 80 people showed up (I believe the show was up on Thursday, March 17th).

I reached out to Amy Maestas on Instagram and asked her for an 8 x 8 inch print.  I have seen her selling prints during the downtown ABQ Art Walk as well as in Silver City:
