Protest Posters--UPDATED

Protest Crude Disasters, Linocut

UPDATE: This is what the final linocut looks like. I omitted the oil pipeline from Orange Julius' head since I thought it was too weird and distracting. The linocut is on display at Trumpocolypse: What Now? at the Sacred Gallery in NYC and there is a high-res, downloadable, digital version at elanagoren.com. Thanks to Blond Jenny who posted some shots of the opening on the Sacred Gallery facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sacred-Gallery/126499077405905

This is the initial plan for a 18" x 24" woodcut poster that I may be carrying at the Women's March on January 21, 2017. I'm also working on a more woman-oriented one that might be more appropriate. I can save this one for a more general and/or environmental protest. I'll be working on this for the next couple of weeks. This will be one side of the poster.

The other side will be this:

Silkscreened on foam core. Two very different styles, I know, but without access to silkscreen facilities for the next few weeks, I opted to do a woodcut which I can print in my studio.

Thesis Show

Speciesism by Elana Goren

UPDATED:
The "New Book" badge on the upper right column of this blog, links to a digital interpretation of "Speciesism," a compilation of silkcreen and etching prints that were sewn together to create an artist’s book for my thesis show (seen on pedestal above). All of the artwork pages in the blurb.com printed book are digital renditions that simulate the method of layering color used to produce silkscreened images seen in the original book. 

The hand-made artist's book is 36 pages and can be seen at my MFA thesis show, "Extreme Prejudice," Dorsky Museum, SUNY New Paltz, from May 18 - May 22. The digitally printed version is 40 pages and is available for purchase at blurb.com.
