My first solo show

I'm pretty excited, I have my first ever solo show coming up this week! I'll be pretty busy putting together all the work I want in the show but I will be able to sell stuff so hopefully I can make some money! I threw together a poster so I can try to promote it.

Fox plate litho

Litho plate for a narrative about a fox that tricks some cicadas but then eats too many. Can't wait to print this

Woodcut

Here are some high-quality images of my large-scale woodcut I did over the summer at Tom Huck's studio.

Woodcut Bootcamp

This June I traveled to St. Louis to take part in Tom Huck's Evil Prints Woodcut Bootcamp. During the week that I was there I carved and printed a large-scale woodcut. It was an amazing experience and I'm thinking about doing it again next year. Here are some pictures of the process and the finished print.

My first litho print

still haven't come up with a title for this print. Printed 12 I think. Sorry for the crappy scan.

The Cat's Pajamas

The Cat's Pajamas print now available on shirts and onesies! These are for sale. They're also on t-shirts, camisoles, patches, and underwear! I will be putting them up on my storenvy page in a few days but you can always email me if you're interested it one. I will also print on your own stuff if you give me some moolah!

Don't Count Your Chickens

This is an etching I started last week, it was going to be used with another plate for a two-color print but things didn't work out. I re-created this image again with 2 other plates for the color prints and I'm going to finish etching this one and maybe watercolor some of the prints I pull. The image is more or less inspired by the thought of pregnancy and miscarriages. I started with the idiom but it turned into something more personal. Although, not counting your chickens before they hatch is an idea I think just about all of us can relate too.

A Bird in the Hand

I finished the Bird in the Hand print. Still not sure if I'm going to do a two in the bush print to compliment it or not. Just have to find the perfect paper to pull the edition on...I'm thinking Mulberry.

Started a new print

now that I'm back from the conference and all filled with inspiration I finally started something new. something that I'm happy with too. It's going to be part of a diptych (maybe) that is, only if the second image is as strong as this one.

The Wolf

here's a fancy schmancy picture of my wolf head reductive woodcut print I did last semester. It was my first time working with wood. Inspired by tattoo flash designs. You can buy one of these from me for the fabulous price of $30! just shoot me an email at e.hagarty91@gmail.com

Once in a Blue Moon (with detail shot)

Here's the print I did for the exchange-folio at the SGCI conference. I wonder who got them. I'm going to make some changes to the plate or maybe make a second plate to use with this to pull another edition for my independent study print class.

SGCI conference was amazing!

Had a ton of fun, saw a lot of cool stuff, learned a lot, bought/traded/got some cool things, and met some awesome people. One of those people is Clinton Mckay, an amazing printmaker, and a witty dude. Everyone should check out his work. Here's an adorable picture of us during the open portfolio at the conference.

Prints for sale

Although they're not all listed on my etsy, all my prints are for sale. Mini-prints are all $20. Just email me at e.hagarty91@gmail.com if you're interested in purchasing one. If it's not in the shop it can be done through paypal

So I met Tom Huck

Went to a wolfbat event at Old Iron Works in nola. Tom Huck was there and had someone screening his evil head logo on stuff. Got it on my shirt and jacket.

Once in a Blue Moon

Here's a pic of the print I've been working on for the print exchange for the SGCI conference in New Orleans

Die Eule

Young Cardinal

This little gem is one of my 2x2" prints. I did some chine-collé on it to get the red on the cardinal. I'm planning to do that for the entire edition which will probably be about 25 prints.

Leapin Lizards

So I started working on a mini-print today, this is the first proof I pulled. It's only 2x2" big and so far it's only drypoint. The idea just came from a random doodle I did
