Exhibition Roster

OK everyone. This is who I have down as participating in the Fine Arts Seminar Exhibition next month and who will be going onto the postcard, that I'm going to try and get going early next week. At this time all exhibition spaces are assigned though we can definitely fiddle with the space once all the work is in the gallery.

Cover of the book "animals and objects in
and out of water" by Jay Ryan

I was scouting for some new artist's books for my library and ran across Jay Ryan, a Chicago artist working in screenprinted posters. I was really drawn to his work and thought you might like to take a look. He works with traditional hand screenprinting techniques. He also has some information under "questions" about how he first got started in posters. The image above links to one of many portfolios on his site, The Bird Machine.
