Megalo Bonsai / Print
So last weekend I checked out the BONSAI / PRINT show held at Megalo. The show curates the work of printmakers and bonsaïka surrounding carefully cultivated trees with printed works, both large and small. As usual, the Megalo shows are interesting and showcase the talent of local artist. This one is around until the end…

Knees Space Show
So a little more than a week ago, I went to the opening of the Knees.Space show in Megalo’s gallery space. I had seen this guy’s work around town, mostly as robotic arms painted on the side of buildings or in a drain somewhere. Well he carved out some particle board and printed out some…

Megalo Again
I went back to Megalo for screen printing for the last two weekends. This time it’s for new posters for the Noted Festival’s Independent Publishing Fair. The posters include triptychs and smaller work. This will probably be the last screen printing I’ll run with for a while, as other projects are gaining some momentum. Unless…

New Camera
I recently purchased a new digital, swapping out my old Canon 400D for a Fujifilm X-T1. Since there’s a nearly nine-year difference between the cameras, the long overdue change is massive. And now that I have a camera system that it lighter and a little more compact, I can take more and more photos. Whether…

Megalo
So over the last month, I’ve been spending a few weekends at the Megalo Printing Studio. First, I needed to wrap a screen printing project that I started way back in April and May. Back then, it was a day of failure trying to register a second colour to finish up some posters. This time,…

Art Junk
Probably not the best title, but it’s late and I’m tired. So I’ve been busy of late, mostly with a calligraphy project. I decided late last year to attempt larger works, and while I’ve made some nice originals, I then decided to get them scanned and prepped for screen printing. And last year I met…

Zine Experiment
Hard to believe this was nearly a week ago. New zine experiment was performed last week at Megalo Print Studio. It was not entirely successful. Here’s a run down. The zine is printed on both sides of a single sheet of paper and folded down. I created a screen so that all I would have…

Megalo
I recently have been hitting Megalo to try my hand at screenprinting. Some of the things didn’t work out so great. But these bookplates turned out pretty well. I’m surprised how much detail was kept. Each one is printed on lithograph paper, which has a pretty nice finish. I’m not sure what I’ll do with…

Megalomania
I just picked up a copy of Meglomania, a book covering the 33 year history of the Megalo Print Studio. I’m looking forward to reading this. I’ve played around with some screenprinting previously, but haven’t had the chance to go back to work on some more. Incidentally, I also picked up my three copies of…
