Little Friends of Printmaking
Don’t miss a fun and fascinating presentation at Maine College of Art by designers/printmakers Melissa & JW Buchanan of: The Little Friends of Printmaking
Thursday, October 27th at 12:30 in Osher Auditorium (and overflow space, ICA.)
You can easily spot The Little Friends of Printmaking in a crowd—their inky hands and clothes are a dead giveaway. Their artwork is just as distinctive. Husband-and-wife team J W & Melissa Buchanan first made a name for themselves by designing and printing silkscreened concert posters, but soon branched out into further fields, designing fancy junk for whoever would pay them money. In addition to their work as illustrators and designers, these art-school refugees continue their fine art pursuits through exhibitions, lectures, and artists’ residencies throughout North America, spreading the gospel of silkscreen to anyone inclined to listen. Their awards include honors from the Art Directors’ Club, American Illustration, and Communication Arts. Also, their work has been published in the books New Masters of Poster Design [Rockport], Juxtapoz: Poster Art [Gingko Press], and Handmade Nation [Princeton Architectural Press], among others. The Little Friends currently live in Milwaukee, WI with two very round cats.

This lecture and accompanying workshops for Maine College of Art students are sponsored by a consortium of MECA’s Professional Studio Seminar + Graphic Design, Illustration, and Printmaking Departments.
Kindred – new works by Elizabeth Jabar
Common Street Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition of works on paper by artist Peregrine Press member Elizabeth Jabar. The exhibition ‘Kindred’ will be on view from November 11 to December 28, with an artist reception at the gallery on Friday, November 11 from 5-8 pm. The public is invited to attend.
Professor Jabar returns to her roots to mount an exhibition of prints, paper cuts, and artist books that reflect on the ideas of kinship, ancestry and cultural heritage. Working from a narrative framework, She uses a lexicon of abstracted and representational forms that come from a diversity of sources including, nature, folk art traditions, textiles, and the human figure. Her densely layered, vividly colored works are made using a combination of print techniques – woodcut, silkscreen, and lithography, as well as the use of dyes, wax, and thread. Jabar’s works also expand the conventions of the print medium, and utilize nontraditional formats including cut paper, book objects, and unframed wall compositions.

Kit & Joanna Pike Prints & Pots
NOVEMBER 18 and 19
There may be more prints still in the boxes instead of on the walls and panels, and perhaps not so many kinds of cookies, but still lots of art, and hopefully lots of YOU to make it really fun. Although Joanna is STILL in Canada this year — now doing a one-year residency in Ceramics at Medalta in Medicine Hat, Alberta, she did leave here many small pieces that came out of her Celadon Project in Halifax.
