“Thanks for hanging my prints up like laundry.”
Raoul Middleman’s (self-portrait) lithography plate from 1985. He brought this over to the shop the other day and asked if it can still be printed. Hell yeah it can. The cool thing about this, for me, is that the person/teacher who turned me onto printmaking, John Sparks, processed this plate in 1985, but never editioned it. It was also the year I started art school, and fell in love with printmaking. John’s dead now. I’ll finish what he started. If I don’t die first, or second. Something like that.
