Remembering Robert...

"I don't think of myself as making art.
I do what I do because I want to, because painting is the best
way I've found to get along with myself "

Robert Rauschenberg
1925-2008

Outside the box feature....

I have always been fascinated by different alternative photo processes. Recently I have started revisiting some of these historic techniques. Look for them to be featured every now and then on my blog in a post called 'Outside the box.' You may also find some of these works on the sidebar..

Today's 'Outside the box feature' showcases tintypes. The classic tintype also known as ferrotypes or wet plate collodians utilizes some pretty toxic chemicals. The tintypes above are modern tintypes meaning they were produced using a photo emulsion on blackened aluminum. Dripping, streaking and bubbling surface effects are additional characteristics that make the plates unique and one of a kind. To see more tintypes check out my Etsy store.

Interested in purchasing a tintype email me at rslarson@mac.com
P.S. the watermark is not part of the original artwork....

New Storefront on Etsy!

Hello Everyone! I want to share with you a new opportunity to purchase my work. I have been working hard to get my store set up on "Etsy". Having an Etsy shop will allow me to sell more of my weekly paintings featured here on my blog as well as some other unique pieces that are 'resting' in my flat files.

For those of you not familiar with this site; Etsy is a website which focuses primarily on providing an outlet for individuals to buy and sell handmade items. "The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers a personal storefront". Think of it as one big 'Gallery Hop' without leaving your couch! But be warned - once you venture there it is easy to get addicted to all the cool things available!

You can check out my new storefront at www. boxfotos.etsy.com
Or simply click on the Etsy link found on the sidebar to the right and it will take you directly to my shop.

Check it out and let me know what you think! And remember to check back often....
