That's as in British Columbia, not time traveling!

I'll be in Vancouver early/mid August, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations as to the local printmaking scene.
Not interested in workshops, just places to visit and look at. Galleries, open print studios, special museum collections, etc.
Thanks for any hints!

Melissa

Hi Melissa,

If you are interested in a side trip to Sidney by the Sea you are welcome to drop by my Studio.
It would take a 1/2 day to make the trip. Let me know and I can give you directions to take public transportation and a delightful ferry ride to the Vancouver Island....

Regards
Graham

Subject: PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW
Posted by: Dean Clark


There are a lot of people in the printmaking world. A few years ago, there was a movie called Six Degrees of Separation. The premise of the movie was supposedly (since I didn't see it, I can only suppose about the premise) that you can move from yourself to any other figure on the planet - perhaps the Pope, with only six degrees of separation. Of course, if your target is Kevin Bacon it's more like four degrees.

In printmaking, I would argue that the number is more like two degrees! I've rarely met a printmaker that didn't share a common acquaintance with me. I would like, however to introduce you to someone that you don't know probably...Florence. Like Cher or Madonna, she needs only one name. Her given last name is probably "the Milk Float".

Shown above, Florence is a refugee from the Dairy industry. In this picture she is toting two heavy hitters in the printmaking world. Well, they're both heavy at least! In the command seat - yours truly, and closest to the camera is Martin Lawrence - the chief . . .

These are the drawings for the third print. I was going to make three but now I will do a series about loliness and depresion that has inspired me for my survivors of violence theme.

Subject: Welcome more citizens!
Posted by: Maria

The latest arrivals from Oregon and Michigan in USA, love these rural additions!

Renee Ugrin's city block from Damascus Oregon USA
Check out the cool ink drawings on the newspaper page! Here is a larger view of the block:

And citizen Linda Beeman from Ovid Michigan USA writes:

The City of the World will need water.  Lots of water.  What better place to supply it than a fresh, mountain waterfall?  I envision the water flowing into a small stream as it travels down the mountainside.  It widens and deepens and fish are fat and plentiful. The river quenches the thirst of deer, bear and small forest animals.  People come to this mountain river for peace and solitude.  The majesty of this natural place reminds them that they are small and inconsequential.  They leave refreshed and thankful for the gift of water - vowing to protect this place.
