Recent Prints: Woodcuts & Screenprints...


This is a woodcut print I did at the beginning of this semester called, "Laborer and Monkey-Wrench". The block is 16"x20" and was more work than I had anticipated, but it's nice to work in a larger scale for a change.

This one is a two-block woodcut print called, "Peepholes". Both blocks measure at 9"x12" and were printed with water-based ink.


"Duel with Oklahoma" is a two-color screenprint I did in an edition of 40. It's on "speckletone" 100lb. French paper measuring at 12.5 x 16.5.

Finally, this is "Perspire/Expire", a four-color screenprint from a drawing I did previously. This is for Paul Nudd's "Corpus/Corpus" zine and print collection which will feature Nudd, Mike Diana, Greg Jabobson, Bruno Richard, Anne Van der Linden, Mariano Chavez, and others. I still feel like it's crazy that I'll be sharing "space" with these ridiculously talented folks, but Paul Nudd asked and I jumped on the opportunity.

I apologize for the poor photos I took with my 5 year-old digital camera, but at least you can get the gist of what these prints look like.

These are great! I like the first one best, I think, but Duel with Oklahoma is pretty great also

Thanks Dave and Dave! I'll be posting the remaining two prints that I'm currently working on once they're done. And yeah, I keep going back to Okie stuff. Can't help it, I s'pose.

Ah, I commented yesterday, but it didn't show up. Anyway, these prints are fantastic! Woodcut especially is a good medium for you.

Thanks John! I'm still really rusty on my printmaking skills, but I'd like to spend some more time with it. Thanks again!

Hello Mr. Onsmith.

I am new to viewing your work, and would like to say that I am enjoying it a great deal. I'd like to inquire as to where I could purchase a copy of the zine that your print "Perspire/Expire" will appear in: "corpus/corpus"?

Cheers,
ryan standfest

Thanks very much, Ryan. Paul Nudd is the guy putting the zine/print booklet together and I'm not sure where it's going just yet. Possibly "Printed Matter" and a couple of other places. Once I know, I'll post something about it. There's only 100 copies being put together...
