*note: I know this is ridiculously late and I apologize. I have class every day from 10-5 15 so today was the first non-weekend day I had a chance to get to the library before 5.

Bud Shark; Shark’s Inc is a collaboration of artists that publish their, and others’s prints. The Director and Master Printer is one in the same: Bud Shark.
Payton, Cydney, ed. The Legend of Bud Shark and his Indelible Ink . Hardy Marks Publications , Print.
(no place or year of publication available).
The prints in this collection are completely intriguing, particularly the clear differences in style between artists. While some artists seemed to be drawn to a more graphic approach, utilizing the clear, concise lines capable in printmaking, others’s prints looked more like abstract paintings than prints. I’m particularly drawn to Hung Liu’s prints, as well as John Buck’s (which I’ve featured in the photograph attached).

John Baldessari; Baldessari is an American conceptual artist who began as a painter and then began to move on to the incorporation of other mediums in the 1960s.
John Baldessari: A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation. New York: D.A.P.
(a collection of authors).
I really enjoyed the John Baldessari videos we watched in class, so when I saw this book I thought it would definitely be worth looking at more of his art work. What I enjoy most about his art work, at least from what I’ve seen in class and from this book, is his wide array of experimentation in different types of art. Many artists have a general style of work, which in its own way can be an interesting aspect of their work, but I think that his tendency not to necessarily have one way to definitively define or recognize his work makes it that much more interesting.
