PULLED: A CATALOG OF SCREENPRINTING!

So, the venerable Mike Perry asked me to include work in his new book, Pulled: A Catalog of Screenprinting. published by Princeton Architectural Press.

I owe the introduction to Dan Black at landland.net, my former roommate, who suggested my inclusion.  Dan. Can’t thank U enough.

Anyway, the book came out late last month.  I bought a copy yesterday and it is so well made, shot, and currated wisely.  I am humbled to be included in the same pages as Aesthetic apparatus, Landland, Seripop, Sonnenzimmer…and a bunch of others.

here’s the cover.

After completing a few printmaking residencies in 2008 and 2009 his focus has tended more toward fine-art printmaking, creating larger prints and installations for shows both in the u.s. and abroad.
