Comfortable Shoes Studio is the name of my little studio in Beverly, Massachusetts; here I paint large watercolors, smaller acrylics, and mostly bind books and journals. I specialize in custom bound journals and sketchbooks with adhesive-free sewing in which the sewing is visible and decorative on the spine. If you're interested please email me!

These sage blossoms make me super happy. I have them bordering the driveway and they all look great.

I rarely get to see my art framed. When I do it is always special. Life Preserver 3 will be up for auction at @rawartworkslynn Bash event this Saturday. You'll notice that right next to it is the spectacular little Capital Diner image by @jon.bolles so my stuff is in good company. The 2nd image is my group's Say Gay poster it looks spectacular all framed up! #printplay #print #printmaking #art #artistsofinstagram #artist #trashprintmaking

I've got a whole post about these coming up on Ko-fi. I did a series of tests of a variety of gelli plate transfer techniques. I really really dig oil pastel and china marker. I need to use cheaper paper though. The stuff I did this one with was too nice. Gotta pick up some of that 100% recycled copy paper. The good stuff I use for most stuff doesn't suck the paint up. Anyway a little owl testy plate, slapped in my sketchbook.full deets on Ko-fi next week. I'll have a post on the blog too. #printplay #print #printmaking #gelprint #gelatinprint #kofisupporters

I've been testing a bunch of gel plate xfer techniques. Close to process colors. Super thin transparent layer of color and then yellow to transfer the image from plate to paper. Some photocopy, laser printer, and ballpoint etch. The imagery is of skulllies and school desks, you know why. Art helps me process things. #art #printplay #print #gelprint #gelatinprint #gelliprint #printmaking #artist #artistsofinstagram

If you were wondering how the @rawartworkslynn block party was, here's the line waiting to get in and see the show, there were way more people behind me enjoy the music, chalk art, and free food. This was one of the best block parties I've ever attended and the vibes were great. I got to meet a lot of raw alum (won't remember your names but I'll know you faces) and loads of families. This was awesome!!!! #rawartworks #raw #art #celebrateart #artcelebration

Fuzzy pixels the magenta-adjacent layer. 1syimage is with the black test print as the first print, everything on top. I think black on top will look spectacular and crisp.(ish) I went with a red purple as my magenta layer, I tried a true magenta and it didn't go. Some of the kids spotted these prints on the rack and basically said, "I wanna do that " so we will. The skull looks good so far and the layers of ink looks awesome. #printplay #print #printmaking #reliefprint #art #artistsofinstagram #artist #makergonnamake #trashprintmaking

The yellow is going over the blue. The black was a test print, but I layered the blue and yellow over it as a test. So far I like it. The blue and yellow look great together. Cannot wait for the magenta layer. It's process color-adjacent which I'm digging. #printplay #print #printmaking #trashprintmaking #artistsofinstagram #art #reliefprint

I made a big ole banner for the window at work. If you don't agree gtfo. It's on vinyl and hand painted with acrylic. My lettering is... Something else. There's a reason I like letterpress

I opened this vintage can of ink expecting it to be yellow, saw it had a bunch of orange mixed in so looked up the pantone number and uh it still should have been yellow, but school bus yellow. I stead we got pumpkin orange. 🍊🍠🥕🦊 I had planned on mixing this exact shade so a very happy accident. @mitchelka thanks for this!!! #printplay #print #printmaking #poster My middle school kids are making a poster of koi fish with a tag that says, "stay in school" then in tiny type (like a fish!) These kids make me laugh every week and are pure joy.

This is NOT a flattering angle but I caught my lunch on my other shirt and had to change it. So I'm wearing one of the burn out shirts I made as a prototype for my groups. I like it a lot. It's a lot match. #makergonnamake #maker #artistsofinstagram #artsyfartsy #arttherapy #artist #tshirt #burnout

Some of the teens I work with made these awesome puppets as part of their show project. They also made a complete paper mache stage complete with back drops. It is very cool. The puppets are so cute in person. I can't wait to show more of this stuff. If you live in the North shore you should come to our celebration of the show opening. It's on the 26th from 5 to 8 pm in central sq Lynn, ma. #rawartworks #radprintshop #awesomesauce

Well it finally happened. I had a real credible exposure to COVID. Thankfully, I've been masked and very careful. This morning 2 people I've had close contact with have developed some mild symptoms and have had positive tests. I will test again tomorrow AM. But so far so good. No symptoms for me. Phew.

A full rack of prints, 2 colors gold and black on 20x36 inch paper (I think) I taught a friend to use the press, how to lock up, ink, and printing using the vandercook sp20. Great work completed over about 3 days after work. You're looking at about 8 hours of work.teaching a new person adds 2 hours to the process. Good stuff.though. #letterpress #vandercook #sp20 #poster

Some bleached out tee work. It's been rinsed and will be dry by the time I get back to the studio, but the stencils and mask worked great with the toilet bowl cleaner and spray bottle. The dribble lines are from the gel in the spray bottle. The toilet bowl cleaner does have a down side- it starts to oxidize fast, so putting out small amounts for brush work is key, because it stops working fast. I'll get a pic of the campfire scene I made on a navy shirt. I'm very happy with the match but I have a few spots in going to go back into with a squeeze bottle to get some white areas. #teeshirts #teeshirtdesign #bleachedout #printplay #printmaking #prototype #makergonnamake #maker
