Just kidding! If I’d been smart enough to also do prints of every image I ever made, I’d be a much richer man. This is a xerox copy of a copy, repeated several times until it started to break down.

Ah, and why not? Is Escher any worse for being in every dorm room?

I studied printmaking in college (mostly etching), but didn’t continue with it once I learned to paint. I’ve nothing against prints at all. It was mostly a time constraint. Then my 80s dealer went in with a print distributor and financed a nice color etching that I did with a master printer down in Fullerton. That didn’t work out to my satisfaction, as the distributor was never heard from again, and the dealer just handed me a stack of prints and said “sell them yourself”. So I never made anymore prints.
