The Road Goes on Forever...Print Austin

Just as Robert Earl Keen prophesized-- The Road Goes on Forever, and the Party Never Ends...

Our exhibition at Mexic-Arte is part of the bigger PRINT AUSTIN month.  The print shows continue, and we are checking out as many as we can...

I went to see some PRINT AUSTIN exhibits, though I missed the openings:

The exhibition below

was at the Pump Project

Call & Respond: Works By Andrew Blanchard & Jonas Criscoe

The galleries below were at Canopy Austin:

Kowboyz And Monsters  -- prints by Carlos Hernandez and the Amazing Hancock Brothers

This print by the Amazing Hancock Brothers

has an affinity with the work of the late

Michael Roman,

who is showing in San Francisco,

at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts

I ran into Carlos Hernandez (right)

and the Amazing Hancock Brothers 

at a previous opening at Flatbed Press.

Seen here with Elvia Perrin,

the co-founder of PRINT AUSTIN

Previously I bought a print from 

Jenn Rodriguez on Etsy,

We were pleased and surprised to find a print by Kathryn Polk in the Wally Workman gallery.  She apparently judged a PRINT AUSTIN 2015 show.
