Hey - got a dog and love it? Want a portrait of them? If you’re seriously interested hit me up on the email (jhonstortz@gmail.com) and I’ll let you in on the price. Everyone who gets a portrait done will receive the original plus a hand screened book of all the portraits at the end of the summer.

Can honestly only commit myself to a limited number of portraits so act fast!

Cranes

so many half-worked files lying around on my computer, cleaning up and clearing out a few before portfolio review this week.

Orographic Lift

pen on cold press arches.

Just a mock, can’t wait to screen this bad boy for real.

Working proof of the seven deer print. Really wanted to try it out on some craft colored paper and it turned out pretty well. Mixed some gold in with the opaque black but it did the opposite of what I wanted and sort of neutered the intensity of the black and flattened it all out. So happy to finally be printing again, avalanche of work coming soon doggies!

Colorway mocks for this 88 Snakes print project I’m concocting. Can’t wait to screen a million of these.

Another day, another dead dog. Potential book jacket for a portfolio piece.

This cock-eyed demon dog will be part of my senior screen print poster series.

Infinite Noose mock-up, part of a series of screen print posters I’m working on this semester.

In spite of the mountain of work this final semester’s slamming me with I decided to to do a stippled ship for a screen printing project. Here’s a little mock up with some ‘shopped in colors and texture. The final version will hopefully be wild and unrecognizable.
