Untitled (Douglas Stockdale, Art Supply Warehouse, Westminster, CA) For the last couple of days, I have been in the fabrication mode for Pine Lake, my artist book. One of the limitations to constructing this artist book was the 24" paper cutter in my studio. Thus after I purchased the 32" x 40" Crescent 20C chipboard... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Art Supply Warehouse, Westminster, CA) After figuring out that I do not need to obtain an ISBN for my Pine Lake project (what I have been referring to as the PL project), things seem to now be flowing smoother. As an hand made artist book in an edition of 25 which is being sold... Continue Reading →

Untitled (Jamacia, NY #7211) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale Even as an engineer I find that my technological subjects for this project are mostly ambiguous as to the underlying function and purpose. In some cases there are hints as to the technological intent but other wise I find these objects to be both beautiful as well... Continue Reading →
