The Art of Cirque A Circa
In a work of art nearly the size of two football fields, we will have many performers throughout the ArtPrize competition. Performers include airial, fire-spinning, fire-eating, and other sideshow performances by Cassie Truskowski, Author Bethany Grenier, Local Artist Ted Jauw, and many others – as well as fashion shows, and of course music: Such as acts by Zoe Boekbinder of Vermillion Lies, and also by The Gypsy Nomads – a great band last seen (by us) at the World Steam Expo.

I’m getting closer to being done with this series, and finished with the book… well, the art book anyway.
Your Assumed Name for this Mission will be…
The new Adventurer Name Generator (not to be confused with the Secret Mission Adventure Generator) is finished. Give it a spin – a new name every day for you, or someone you love, or someone you don’t love very much at all.

Printed area is 11 by 14 inches, with a border of roughly 2.5 inches all around (print size is roughly 16 by 20). It is printed on heavy metallic professional stock in archival black pigment ink.
I did a number of these engravings as a set, partially as a practice run at intaglio. This one was done as a sketch for a work in process (same-named painting).
The originals are done on Ampersand Art clayboard: an archival tempered hardboard surface coated in white clay and india ink.
