This ships from Round Lake Beach, Illinois. A suburb outside of Chicago. I use UPS and sometimes US Post.
This is a curated set of five intaglio prints I made in 1994 while I was still deep in grad school and figuring out my visual language. These are all original prints—not reproductions—and each one comes from a small edition or is a state proof. They’ve been kept in flat files for decades and I’m releasing them now as part of my Fresh Finds archive project.
The set includes:
"Back Room" (11x15 inches): A dramatic, noir-style composition with four figures seated in a circle under a hanging light. Printed in black and gray aquatint, this one plays with atmosphere and the psychology of group dynamics.
"Cabby" (8.5x11 inches): A street-side encounter between a man leaning into a cab and a driver turning back to look at him. Strong diagonals and tension-filled posture make this one feel like a film still.
"Greta’s" (11x15 inches): A quiet figure stands in front of a window, their back turned. Simple lines and shadows build a sense of solitude. The off-white rag paper gives it a soft, warm tone.
"Rear Window" (6x8 inches): A small vertical composition of a figure in profile wearing a fedora, watching someone framed in a high-up window. This is a state proof, showing my early development of this plate.
"A Smoke & a Paper" (11x11 inches): A solitary figure in a scarf and jacket holds a cigarette and a newspaper. You can feel the pause in the moment. The textures are gritty and subtle thanks to intaglio techniques.
Each print is handmade, hand-pulled, and signed. The styles vary slightly but they’re all in the same world—part social realism, part cinematic noir, with a focus on narrative through gesture and shadow. These images come from the same place that shaped a lot of my painting: a mix of mid-century film, Edward Hopper, Bay Area Figurative influences, and queer-coded storytelling.
This set tells a quiet, moody story about observation, isolation, and coded meaning. And like a lot of my early work, it’s deeply tied to identity—especially gay identity during a time when subtlety was a form of safety. Releasing these now feels right. There’s a renewed urgency to show queer work that’s honest, even if it’s not loud. Collecting prints like these is a way to connect to that history—and maybe carry it forward.
