CESAR CHAVEZ was a Visiting Artist at Kutztown University for two weeks in October 2011. Cesar is from Oaxaca, Mexico and is a specialist in woodcuts. His visit was arranged by Kevin McCloskey of the Communication Design Department, and I’m very appreciative of Kevin’s efforts. Cesar spent a lot of time in the Printmaking Studio and did 8 to 10 prints. Hopefully some of the students who complain about doing four in a semester took notice. He also made it over to the Ceramics Studio where he produced several plates. In addition he had an exhibition of his woodcuts in the Student Gallery.

Toad

Monday, September 5th, 2011

I liked the pig, phattie shitta, so I decided to do another animal. This is done from a photo I took in China during the summer of 2010. These toads would come into the house where I lived at night and eat mosquitos. I photographed them in almost total darkness. This is the first state of the etching with a lot of pencil drawing and I had to title it phrauggie shitta.

: phattie shitta

When we were traveling in Wisconsin we went to a combination petting zoo and fireworks store. They also served snacks. It was a hot June day and this pig seemed to reflect how we all felt. The kids named him phattie shitta. I did this etching and am currently working in a drawing of him…plan to put this in the Kutztown Univ. Faculty Exhibition too.
