10th Annual Rainboeliza Print Portfolio: CALL FOR ENTRIES

2019-09-04T07:21:00.000-04:00

Greetings Folks!

Here we are! Can you believe we have now reach the 10th year of the exchange! So awesome! Who would have thought? WHOA! Perhaps while we're all waiting for our portfolios to arrive this year, I'll do some flashback posts!

In light of the 10th year celebration, I've chosen the theme VIVID! I've had some intensely crummy years during the exchange, but this past one is the best year I've had in a LONG time. From new puppy loves, interesting temp jobs and walking the entire French Camino, it has been a year of eye opening experiences! With a few months left in the year, I actually look forward to seeing what comes next.

And so folks, I open this years call for entries! Oh, you may wonder. . . What is Print Portfolio Exchange? It's when a group of individuals come together to rock art! Let's say we get 20 participants this year. Each participant would make a limited edition of 21 prints. They then send them to me and I make a special folder, a colophon and redistribute 20 sets of portfolios (one gets archived for the project). The participant (which could be YOU!) will received a portfolio with 20 prints from folks all over the country and sometimes the world! It's always so exciting to see what arrives! So, now I leave you with the theme to ponder!

The Annual Rainboeliza Print Portfolio Exchange is a great way to get connected or reconnected with each other and art making. To break it down, this is an open call for a print exchange of approximately 20-25 people. As always, the portfolio is limited to keep it manageable for all those involved. Please note that if you sign up, there is no bailing allowed because all will suffer! I retain the right to refuse prints that do not adhere to timely and physical constraints as individuals not following directions puts the entire portfolio at odds. Keep in mind that even though the exchange has a theme, it's done so in a manner that allows and is very much intended to be as open an interpretation as you would possibly like.

9th Annual Call for Entries: Print Portfolio Exchange

2018-09-26T13:45:00.002-04:00

Wooo whoo! Its round NINE!

I can hardly believe another year has come and gone and I’m in the midst of starting year nine of the Print Portfolio Exchange!!! Where oh where does the time go? I am stoked to say I haven’t moved this year, however, none of the plans on my To Do/ue came to fruition. Such plans as buying a house where I could set up my studio again! My living wage job came to an end thanks to the company I worked for going bankrupt and being bought in a liquidation auction! And, that family I hoped to start seems not meant to be. Lastly, my car, which I hoped to have for another four years when my students loans finally come to an end, is on it last leg ( or at least with me)! Sigh of sighs!

Alas folks, the UNEXPECTED! In light of the negatives I’ve had some Unexpected positives as a result. The foremost being I got a small severance package! This little gift is allowing me sometime and finances to create. My injured car has kept me home to work and no babes to tend to offers loads of free time. If you follow on Facebook you’ll know I’ve been calling this September Build....Now quickly turning to October Build. I’ve purchased some long desired power tools and am making a go of things! This year provided so many events that I would never had guessed.

This, folks, brings me to this year’s theme - or perhaps you’ve guessed it already: UNEXPECTED

I feel like this theme can be related to so many things happening in the world today and can be interpreted in so many ways. Here’s to year nine!

Work in Progress: Better as Scrap

2018-06-22T07:30:00.000-04:00

I've been working on a Top Secret project (really just a surprise for someone, but I cannot share till much later) and I can't quite seem to find the right formula for it. After spending a good portion of a day on this secret project, I decided that I just had to make something that worked even if it was on a teeny tiny piece of scrap carving material. Thus, this:
