My goal is to create a series of 28 illustrations for a manuscript I have written entitled, For You, My Daughter. The illustrations will be multicolor block prints on handmade paper, in an edition suitable for reproduction with the text as a Fine Press Book. I will be creating a set of 28 sketches, refining the sketches for style uniformity and integration with the text, transferring the images to blocks, hand carving and hand engraving the blocks, and printing of the blocks using letterpress equipment in my shop, The Tight Squeek Press. The outcomes will be 1) the completion of a set of finished illustrations to accompany the text, ready for future reproduction as a fine press book publication, and 2) a public exhibition of the works. Evaluation may be based on the quality of the 28 works themselves, the timely completion of this project, and reviews of the public exhibition of the works. Evaluation of the printed illustrations themselves will be based on expectations of high quality of content, composition, workmanship, and their relation to the text. The public exhibition will be held at a gallery serving the greater Twin Ports area, with invitations to include publishers, publishing agents, fellow artists and writers, and the general public.
