This is both heartbreaking and amazing. William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 1995. From the year of diagnosis, until his death in 2007, William painted self portraits as a means of understanding his disease. It’s so interesting to see how his portraits changed as his disease progressed.

New print release! Chinese New Year was a few weeks back, and it is the Year of the Dragon, considered to be the luckiest year in the Chinese Zodiac. We thought it would be fun to celebrate by releasing this print by Will Scobie – Midnight’s Dragon.

I chose a dragon for this piece, because visually dragons are really inspiring to draw, being made up of lots of interesting shapes and lines. In my work, I am always aiming for graphic simplicity that incorporates different ideas, but I also try to keep a fun feeling by adding unusual details.

15% of each print sold will be donated to American Forests. Read our interview with Will here, and buy the print here.

And, the sketch that led to the print.

Love these sculptures by Neritagli. Simple, flat-packed shapes and designs. I actually like the leftover acrylic as much as the sculptures themselves.

Natural is a limited edition zine by Harry Diaz that explores the playful dialogue between graphic geometric shapes and patterns.

New print release. We love OSoo’s detailed and colorful watercolors of animals, and the whimsical, architecturally-inspired details she weaves into her artworks. Deer is our 2nd print edition with OSoo.

The deer and its antlers reminds me of what it is like to be feminine and how fabulous nature is. The antlers are iconic and I wanted to represent them in a certain way that encapsulates my current interests in material qualities, fashion, style, and patterns of the Art Deco period.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Doctors Behind Borders. Read our interview with OSoo here, and buy the print here.

New print release! Andrea Hornick’s work centers around the addition of animal spirit guides to old masters’ portraits of women. Bound and Protected features Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’ portrait of Betty de Rothschild. Andrea altered Ingres’ painting to include Betty’s spirit guides – a pair of blessbucks.

These blessbucks help her to be in two places at once; she is hosting a safari and must be present with her guests, so one animal helps her to do this. In addition, she has offered to find each of her guests a power animal, so the other animal takes her on these quests. She gets on the back of the blessbuck, whom she rides on a journey to be shown the power animal of each guest, returns to report her findings, and then goes out again to quest for the next guest. This approximates a self-portrait, as she takes on my role as shaman, is Jewish, and wants to be in many places at once.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Victory Junction, who provide a fun and safe camping experience for children with serious illnesses. Andrea chose Victory Junction because she believes that spending time in nature can be incredibly restorative and healing. Read our interview with Andrea here, and buy the print here.

Hey friends! If you’ve had your eye on some Working Proof prints for a while, we’re having a very speedy sale on Fab.com, with 32 prints that are now 25% off. The sale only runs for two more days, so check it out while you can! 15% of each print sold still goes to the charity of the artist’s choice.

New print release! We’re happy to welcome Estibaliz Hernández de Miguel back to The Working Proof with her latest print, Shuffle Back in Line. The print was inspired by a Decemberists’ song, Rox in the Box, that was featured in a video shot by Juan Rayos, Carving the Mountains. The lyrics “…and you shuffle back in line” got into Esti’s head, and evolved into the image of several women standing in line, women who had probably forgotten where they were heading in the first place. Some are lost, while others are leading the line.

15% of each print sold will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. Read our interview with Esti here, and buy the print here.
