New! You can now view my prints by subject rather than chronologically. Start with CATALOG and negotiate from there. You can also view them in chronological order as before. To do that, click on "Silkscreen prints" above.
I'm looking for copies of my earliest published books and am willing to buy them back from anyone who has copies: Skin and Bones, Freedom Dues, The Progress of a Fire.
