The Morrison School
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Events, Prints
The Morrison School in Bristol, VA is having an auction! (I do not yet have the exact date and time of the auction, but will post a follow-up once that information becomes available). They will be auctioning off artwork to support their school whose mission is: “. . .prevent attention and learning disabilities from becoming lifelong handicaps that interfere with educational, job, and personal success.” For more information on the Morrison School go here. I have donated the two pieces of artwork you see below. If you are an artist and interested in donating artwork to the Morrison School auction, send an email to morrisonschool@bvunet.net, to the attention of Chandra Morse.

New Gallery Added!
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Prints
A new gallery has been added! Just click on the Galleries link above (then scroll down to Miscellaneous Artwork) or just click here to view it. The Miscellaneous Artwork gallery contains a several prints and drawings that I kind of forgot about over the past few years. Most of them have only been on exhibit in one or two shows (or not at all!). One of my favorites is Oblivination (from 2007?) pictured below. Oblivination is a series of five framed intaglios with clear & translucent vinyl (thanks Logan!) adhered to the glass.
Remnants of Taurus

Only a few more pieces of artwork from my current exhibition Cohabitants at the William King Museum
left to post!
The piece pictured below is a series of lithographs with a large amount of custom mat cutting (thanks to Betsey-Rose at American Folk Art & Framing for letting me use your robotic mat cutter!). It is titled, Remnants of Taurus (lithography, mat board, and rubylith) and, from what I gather, is the least popular piece I included in the show.

Feero Molaf Duul (Part 2)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Installations, Prints
This part of Feero Molaf Duul consists of a long strip of grey paint extending to the ceiling with two white vinyl prints (thanks Logan!) adhered to it. Other than that, I don’t have much to say about this portion of the installation. I am much more interested in hearing what you have to say! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
Feero Molaf Duul (Part 1)
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Digital, Installations, Prints
Now we move on to the large wall painting/digital print/graphite drawing/lenticular print/vinyl print installation titled Feero Molaf Duul (the entire piece is shown in the first image below). The first part I’m going to talk about is the framed digital print portion of the overall installation, although technically untitled, I will be calling Microscopic Inspection (for reference purposes). As with every piece in the exhibit (besides Rosetta and RSTT) this entire installation is based upon my own observational figure drawings. Most of this piece is based off of my drawings of two close friends, TJ & Jessica (thanks guys!). Microscopic Inspection represents the deepest investigation and the furthest abstraction from my original drawings that appear in this show. It was all hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator (except for the text, of course) — yes, hand-drawn! — no fancy computer 3-D shortcuts for me!
Interesting side note: After I had printed this piece out, framed it, and hung it, I noticed that one small, black shape was missing — it was just a blank white space! The reason for this is because I ‘hid’ (Illustrator users will know what I’m talking about – Command/3) the shape in question before I printed and didn’t ’show’ it when I actually printed. This is what most people call a ‘happy accident’ because the solution I devised to rectify the situation (creating and applying a vinyl print directly to the digital print) is much stronger and adds another intriguing dimension to the print (the detail of this is shown in the second-to-last image of this post).
The text in the final image below directly correlates to the vinyl word installation Rosetta which will be discussed at length in a future post.
For your viewing pleasure I have included pictures of the actual print and some of the digital file below.
I’m sure there are going to be some questions regarding this piece, so, please, ask away!
