still a little heavy-handed with the ink, but i'm working on it. continuation of some relief prints i began awhile ago. mostly i just dig the way the block looks during the process..

Randall Cunningham

looking to improve my lino block carving skills, here's some printmaking love for my favorite quarterback of all time..

grad art residency winding down - at top speed. it's getting weird.

thesis show prep..









yes, more chrome tapes..



learning my limitations with multi-medium layering (for example, spray paint plus screenprint ink does not equal stable ground for oil-based ink, i have proof)..




as for the mike lewis collaborative piece i started a few seasons ago, i think i've done enough confused damage.. mike, what's next?

"History is full of praise for another's history...

More and more than the one that came before both you and me
Left alone with our devices, whatever will be will be
A brand new story in the making beginning endlessly."
("Beginning Endlessly" by Prince)

love that jam..

another piece that MIGHT go in the 101 show..



some limited edition silkscreens i'll be giving away at the opening.. :)






and a quick lil' sumpthin i call "when A-side met B-side (at the club)".. :)

Love & Acid Reflux

hmm, maybe that should be the title of my made-for-tv biography: "Love & Acid Reflux: The Julia Cocuzza Story."

lately i've been polishing off some small pesky ideas to make way for some big sexy ones. my "heart in a cup" lino prints are finally complete. some technical difficulties but still turned out decent.










with the left over ink and scraps of bristol board, i made these bad boys right quick. it's honestly a coincidence that i made something resembling valentines around valentines day. never been a huge fan of the holiday, usually too much pressure regardless of which team i'm playing for. but, whatev, they're kinda boring but maybe i can give one to my grammy or sell them cheap on etsy..












and my personal struggle with acid reflux continues. on canvas. not my prettiest work, but it kinda sorta gets the point across. first one's finished, second maybe, third definitely not..





and, you know, other stuff..
