Print Release




Bluto 1 2018



To mark the 40th anniversary of my first solo show, in 1979 at the punky alternative space “Rock-it”  in Minneapolis, I’m releasing a set of 4 limited edition serigraphs, each on 17 x 14 acid free heavy weight bristol paper and in an edition of 12 signed and numbered by me and priced at $300 each or $1,000 for the set of 4.

Each image begins as an acrylic painting on paper which is then transferred to the screen with drips, splatters and brush marks intact, I realize people are responding to my engagement with paint, so it’s only natural that I would leave the drips splatters and brush marks visible in in these works. 

I’m keeping the edition size small and the price low and self publishing like my friends who I admire in the ‘zine world.

Payment via PayPal works great and I will send it off to you along with a doc sheet in a heavy weight mailing tube within a week. 

I would be glad to send larger images or details and I can set up an a meeting in NYC if you would like to see the prints in person.

Thanks for reading this, I’m excited to see how this experiment in self publishing works out!

Hank 2





Fightclouds, summer 2019



I once had a boyfriend who looked a lot like Bluto...



Hank








One of the Bluto drawings that I used as a reference was like this guy only both his eyes were closed, I made a t shirt of that guy and when I wear it people ask if it's me....hank was my nickname in Minneapolis because I have such a common scandinavian name. In an effort to make a less cartoon like Bluto I opened one of the eyes....and here's Hnk..


Rocky Graziano



It seemed kind of fitting after painting Bluto for 2 years that I would paint this other famous strongman Rocky Graziano
