An Early Merry Christmas from me.



My apologies to everyone for bringing Christmas forward a bit ;)



I know I'm a bit early decorating 'My Page' here but I have to get organized now as I only have today and tomorrow to get my Christmas sorted. From this Wednesday (2nd Dec) I shall be totally incapable of doing anything. I shall be having my shoulder surgery which will put me out of action for about 6-8 weeks.



So that is my Christmas over with. I've never had… Continue

I'm thankful for...

I have so much to be thankful for. Even in my bouts of moodiness I do realize I am so blessed. I love my family and am so happy to have them all still with me. I am relatively healthy and most of the stuff I don't like I do possess the power somewhere to change them. lol
So with that being said I thought I do my quirky little what I'm thankful for spill.…

Im looking forward to getting back to my studio!

Its been ages. The loft took two weeks to clear! So many books have gone to Oxfam. We have cleared a lovely space to put finished pieces of art, where I can easily access them.



We are decorating the dining room...its non stop. Its tiring but, as it is winter I find it one of the best times to do this task. But my heart is longing to get back to the peace of my art! Sometimes I wonder why I started all this but I know I will feel better once it is done, and it needed… Continue

Gallery Show

Hi all. Wow, it has been an extremely busy couple of months. Gallery show is going well. I had my mind solidly wrapped around the economy being so bad that I wouldn't sell anything, just profit from the experience. I installed my artwork October 21st and by that weekend I sold two pieces!!!! BONUS!!!! I worked really hard on a press release that I sent out to every local paper and magazine around. Made it on the front page of one,Mississippi's Rankin Ledger. I've been asked to write an article… Continue

Exploration Paper

Student success class

Ryan Bouchard



Education to me is as important as breathing. I have put off getting an education for fourteen years, and it was a suffocating fourteen years to say the least. My educational plan is to study at Valencia to get my AA in fine art. Then transfer to UCF and work on a double major in fine art, and art education.

The four year university I want to attend is UCF. UCF stands for the University of Central… Continue

Wax Bodies : History of Dissection & Art

A short, yet fascinating documentary about Zummo, an Italian wax sculpter, who is credited with creating the first 3D anatomical model of the human body.



(A bit of warning: Contains extraordinarily realistic wax models of corpses, and in part 2, some stock footage of maggots in the dirt. If you are sensitive to such things, you won't want to watch this documentary.)



Part 1



Part 2…

Hey everybody,

Definition of Mixed Media

Not being a painter of multi-media artist and not familiar with art speak and so much more the question came up in our Art Guild recently. For instance my clay torso which I played around with collage, is that considered "mixed media"? Answers.com gave the following definition, anyone else have any input, any enlightenment, need to be able to explain that at our next board meeting. Crazy, it's come up every few years for years and I thought we had it settled. Thanks in advance for your… Continue

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion. 

And this is the completed screen ready for printing.  I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
