Carsick, vomit and repeat
Brandon Stahlman shows his monoprints at Delta Workshop
There's something endearing about an artist who recalls that as a child on family road trips, he'd draw until he got carsick, vomit and repeat.
That's Brandon Stahlman's story, and Fresh Ink is a collection of monoprints he'll be showing at Delta Workshop this month.
The Sacramento-based artist incorporates the Japanese style of wood-block printing, screen printing and stenciling in his images. As a result, they look both smooth in the gradual gradations of color, and rough in the jagged edges of the woodcuts. Smooth and rough: kind of like the joy of drawing in the car and the wretchedness of retching.
