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.

Tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 2nd we have guest speaker Richard Whitten, from Rhode Island College, in to speak about the portfolio requirements involved in transferring to RIC.

Afterwards there will be ample time to work at the computers on your artist's statements or Powerpoint presentations. I will open the equipment cabinet for anyone who needs to photograph work. Work can be shot in either the computer lab or one of the open spaces in room 4060, in the art dept.
