Say Goodbye...

Dear Biscuits n Tater's followers...

Due to the obscene mass of blogs I had going for virtually the same thing, I am officially closing Biscuits n Taters as an upate center for Oxblood Press. Updates will be available through the Oxblood Press update page until the great day when I can afford a snazzy website with shiny links. It's just honestly too much for one luddite of a lady to handle

It's been pretty it's been fun but simplicity beckons. Biscuits n Taters will remain here as a n archive and li'l piece of oxblood history.

For future updates please follow us on our Oxlood Press Facebook Page or our main website, Oxblood Press.

Xoxo,
Left Overs

Early Summer Mid Summer Look Back Look Ahead



Although it's been some time now, Oxblood Press is still alive and well.

We've had some hard times this year already and a lot of solid plans went awry at the gun of unexpected events but we're rescheduling and getting ourselves back on track.

Here is a picture of a workstation from late April where some chicken portraits are finally taking shape. We have multiple other woodburnings in process (one in a beautiful frame of a mirror that was discared and we've reclaimed) as well as two story outlines for a few series. We will be hammering those over the next year so keep it in the back of your mind.

Woodburnings in drafting: think wolves, bears, scottish highlanders, rabbits, the city, the forest, the night sky and wonder.

Outside of that I've been a busy bee here on my pet project turned legit, The Madison Printmaking Cooperative! We are having our 6 month in our new space anniversary and celebrating with the launch of new classes! If you live in Madison, Come check us out.


I'll be moving my Kelsey Press and type drawers over there hopefully sometime this year to clean up and start some new postcards!


What I'm saying is, we've got lots of projects....LOTS.

Bike Winter 2011 and Chickens

Yes, we've been gone. Always gone. the Blogger is just...well a thorn.

Regardless, we are submitting to a more official and amazing Bike Winter Art Show 2011 which will be in partnership with the Chicago Urban Art Society in Das Pilsen of Chicago, IL USA. YES. Very glad it's movin' up. Instead of prints we're workin' on Scherenschnitte! No print access=new processes.

It's hard to draft for something you'll be cutting out but this is what we've got thus far...take a peak..Yeaaaap...a code of arms for Chiago's winter bicylclists. So the draft is one thing...a fricken paper cut out will be an entirely different thing, different feel and everything. I am SCARED. but new things...good?

And I've got some amazing chickens I've been working on for a friend's tattoo to share when they're closer to done.

Oxblood isn't dead, just working. ;-) FROHE FESTTAGE!
