All along this project has been one in which we'd encourage others to join in to some degree. I recently signed on to do a series of appearances for South First Fridays in San Jose. The shows are done in conjunction with the Silicon Valley Music Festival and The Sliding Door Company and I set up to show recent pieces and do new work right there on the spot while a classical music performer was playing. [I'll probably have to go into that a bit more later on.] But the first show was last month and I met some other artists that were into the idea of the project and I sent them home with a small stack of supplies. And they came back a month later for the next show with the pieces they'd created. 

And they were really great.

Bre Contreras and Maya Perez totally get the whole idea. We did another small set that evening and it was about as much fun as I had making these little paintings in a long time.  The pieces from March 5, 2014 were done by Maya and Bre and the March 7th set is mostly theirs. I'm seriously excited to see what they do next.

I'll post more about the whole thing later on but wanted to get these pieces posted.

We ran off some linocut prints for the South First Fridays show in support of the Silicon Valley Music Festival at The Sliding Door Company in San Jose. Last month there was a harp player performing and Katherine did a linoleum block carving of a harp. We produced a small set to show the following month and they turned out well. I like the whole set a lot. 

We also ran off a few prints of a Tibetan Wind Horse that Katherine had done and I thought it was nice as this is the Year of the Horse. 

Scans of the pieces and some shots of the print studio are posted just below.
