Woodcuts in Brooklyn via Missouri

 Earlier today I shipped some woodcut prints to Tom Huck's Evil Prints, which he will haul to Brooklyn toward the end of the month, for a big print fair there.  This is the latest version of what is going on regarding our Robert Johnson project, which began back in the 90's when we were both students at Southern Illinois University.  I have exhibited these prints at places in Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, and sold a few along the way.  Our prints and many others were to be exhibited in Nashville at some point, but some lawyers put a stop to that before it could happen.  And maybe it still will happen, but for now we have this- at least some of these prints will be shown at the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair at Powerhouse Arts in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn, March 27th to 30th, 2025.  He tells me that at least one will be behind glass on a wall.  It's not worth it for me to travel there, but if he sends any photos, I'll post them here.

I don't know much about the facility, except that it's a former turbine hall from a power plant, decommissioned back in the 1950's, and had gone through a number of phases typical to artistic repurposed spaces (I've seen, been to, exhibited in, and worked in a lot of such spaces over the years all over New Jersey and New York) such as the place where I have my current Studio, which was a high school once upon a time.  Back in the day, Soho was an industrial neighborhood, by the 80's and early 90's was home to many galleries and studios, but now artists can't afford property there anymore.  This is the art life.  I would not be surprised if in my lifetime this former industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn (the space is right by the old canal) becomes too expensive for arts.

Meanwhile, I may do some more of these Robert Johnson prints, as I still have a few ideas, and people do seem to like them.  Plus it's possible that there will be another show in the future. I may as well be ready.
