In . . . . . . . . . . Out


I have changed my blog presence to focus on my artwork, and life in general, post-Gothic. Here's my new address...

I would have much preferred wealth and fame. But poverty and infamy are better than nothing.

Drawing in Gothic

While in Gothic I finished a large pencil drawing entitled 'Hayman.' It incorporates the June of 2002 Hayman Fire smoke plume as seen from Denver, as well as sections of my apartment building at the time.

The actual drawing dimensions are six by sixteen inches on a sixteen by twenty-four inch piece of paper. It was done with a drafting pencil and gum eraser. My prints preserve the original dimensions, have a title stamp, and are signed and numbered . . .

This is a mock-up of how it may look matted and framed.


You may obtain prints of my work through Northside Galleries of Fort Wayne, or contact me directly at johnkennell66@gmail.com .

. . . but wait! There's more . . .

I have created an additional series of prints derived from the 'Hayman' drawing. They are ten inch square, kaleidoscopic images on twenty inch square paper; stamped, signed and numbered. These web images are at 100 ppi. The physical prints are at 800 ppi and capture the contrast and detail of the original even better than I had hoped.

Below is a compilation piece of all twenty-five, shrunk down and arranged in the same ten by ten inch square . . .


And here is one of them, number twenty-one, framed . . .

Spring Forward?

We got about three feet of new snow the past couple days, topping us out over seven feet... again.



Only two more months until the dining hall opens!
