New mural in Mesa, AZ
Current Times
Hey All,
Hope you're safe out there. The times are a changing. I want to say thank you to all those who have supported this year so far with buying prints, commissions, and drawings. I moved to working from home during quarantine. I'm now back at my day job (who knows what the future holds!?). I'm still making art tho and am super grateful for the opportunities that have opened up.Much Love,
Frank
NEW PRINT EDITION!
Just Released this new 8 color Linoleum Reduction Print with Santo Press There's only 40 in the edition at $175. For inquiries email me at: frankigonz@yahoo.com
I'm really proud of the quality of these. If you're not familiar with the process its pretty cool. The Linoleum block(s) go through a series of cuts before each run of color. By the final print run the blocks have been carved to a point where the print can never be reproduced. Its a challenge to have to work "backwards". The final outline is printed from a Photo Polymer relief plate.
Art Affairs Podcast feature!
Proud to share that I was recently featured on Art Affairs Podcast. Just launched by Michael Faith. He just launched three episodes so far featuring Vanessa Foley, Jeremy Hush and myself.
You can listem here: ART AFFAIRS EPISODE 3 or on any Podcast Platform.
