<div><a href="http://www.seedlibrary.org/catalog/">FROM THE SITE</a> - " Gardeners may think there is nothing green to do in the winter, but winter is when we release our new Art Packs. Pack Art 2011 is a winter garden of art that will get seedy people dreaming about next season. Dreaming is an essential part of gardening in the Northeast. Our dreams are where we hold the flavors, smells, and beauty of our garden bounty during the bleak winter.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>This year’s artists were selected from a pool of over 70 submissions. They come from all over the Hudson Valley and New York City. Each artist interpreted one variety of herb, flower, or vegetable from the Seed Library’s catalog. Mediums include collage, encaustics, oil, watercolor, digital, paper cutting, and ink. Artist range from up-and-coming to world renowned. The diversity of the artwork reflects the many stories behind each variety and the genetic wonder that makes each plant unique.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Signed, limited edition giclee prints of the original artworks will be for sale during the opening along with Art Packs filled with seeds and framed seed packs.</div>

There are some pieces of artwork that just beg to never be finished. For all intensive purposes, my November 2009 Berube-Bug should have been one of those pieces.<br />

There are some pieces of artwork that just beg to never be finished. For all intensive purposes, my November 2009 Berube-Bug should have been one of those pieces.<br />
<br />
If I was a few years younger, had less patience, or wasn't such a stubborn fool, this piece of linoleum would have ended up tossed out of the window as late as last night when I committed to finally printing it after starting it almost 6 months ago.<br />
<br />
Based on a trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving, the image was a culmination of watching hours of bloody video games with no less than 5 military in laws and friends as well as spotting Turkey Vultures for the first time in my life flying over the farm fields along the drive to and from Virginia.<br />
<br />
I started the piece as soon as I got back from the trip, instantly having problems with coming up with the image I wanted. The initial drawing, (PIC #1 below), was what I initially came up with. That image sat on my desk until I finally gave up in December. I believe in January, I decided to give it a go again, this time by not finishing the initial drawing and starting out with a new, relatively different concept.<br />
<br />
Somewhere between January and May, the piece was drawn, redrawn, redrawn again and then cut, little by little until I actually finished cutting it last night while I was printing it. One of the problems with putting one of these pieces on hold is that, there's a lack of continuance, the things I would normally discover and fix as I'm working on the piece become forgotten. So, as a result of that, I did my test print and realized that some of it wasn't working. At this point, I figured, I've waited this long, don't kill it now, try to fix it and call it done.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I'm not completely pleased with it, but feel that a lot of my perceived questioning will be fixed with some color added to the image.<br />
<br />
Live and learn. Glad that's done.<br />

I had it in my head that my July bug was going to be some 2-headed creature depicting my state of mind for the past month. At the last minute, while checking out a fellow mail artist <a href="http://digitalmailart.blogspot.com/">MICK BOYLE'S</a> site, I discovered that he was starting a 2-month mailart call with <a href="http://digitalmailart.blogspot.com/">"Radish"</a> as a theme. The rest is history.<br />
<br />
As soon as I create a colored version, I'll post that as well.<br />

I decided to do a 2-color print for this months Berube-Bug, and I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind adding all of the baby bugs to the "Mommy", but all of the coverage and oversaturation of "OctoMom" may have seeped into my subconciousness as I was drwaing this.<br />

For this months addition to the Berube-Bug mailart project I decided to go a slightly different route. Still using printmaking and linocut as the primary method of creating multiple images, I decided to implement a technique call Chine-Colle' to add color to each and every postcard going out. Here is a brief definition from Wikipedia of what the Chine-Colle' technique of printmaking entails.<br />

For this months addition to the Berube-Bug mailart project I decided to go a slightly different route. Still using printmaking and linocut as the primary method of creating multiple images, I decided to implement a technique call Chine-Colle' to add color to each and every postcard going out. Here is a brief definition from Wikipedia of what the Chine-Colle' technique of printmaking entails.<br />
<br />
"Chine-collé is a special technique in printmaking in which the image is transferred to a surface that is bonded to a heavier support in the printing process. One purpose is to allow the printmaker to print on a much more delicate surface, such as Japanese paper or linen, which pulls finer details off the plate. Another purpose is to provide a background color behind the image that is different from the surrounding backing sheet."<br />
<br />
"The final image will depend on the design and ink color of the printed image, the color and opacity of the paper to which the image is directly printed (plus any inclusions such as petals or fibers in that paper), and the color of the backing sheet."<br />
<br />
- As you'll notice with the sample I'm documenting here, not all layered colors work that well. I have other prints from the edition where the color selection is far more successful but since I documented all of the steps with this particular color combination I figured I'd follow through and show the results, good, bad or otherwise.<br />
<br />
*As far as the image for this months Berube-Bug, I'll leave that up to you for interpretation. ;0)<br />
