"A Forest Insect Alphabet "features fifty-one original woodcuts drawn and cut by Master Printer Charles Jones. Twenty-six of the images are color woodcuts of forest insects chosen to represent each letter of the alphabet and accompanied by twenty-three black and white wood engravings. The book features forest insects important for their beauty, impact on the forest environment and intricate ecology. Jones designed and cut capital letters for each insect name, making them an integral part of the compositions. The colors used for each woodcut are based on those of the named insect. A descriptive poetic quatrain, written by Entomolgist Dr. David Kulhavy, is printed below each color print. The wood engravings also offer a detailed study of the insects and are accompanied by scientific text. Printed on 157 gsm. stock, the book features insects important for their beauty, impact on the forest environment and intricate ecology. The colors used for each woodcut are based on the named insect. The book is 10 inches x 10 inches and comes with an accompanying CD featuring songs about forest insects.
"Chopper Blues" is the apex of a unique evolution: it grows from
the script of a mixed media introduction performed live for a body
of viscerally intense woodcuts, drawings and paintings first
exhibited in East Texas at the Tyler Museum of Art and last honored
at the Marine Corps Museum in San Diego, California. Musician,
painter, printer, sculptor and maturing poet, Jones sustained the
experience which made both these images and this text necessary
during the three years he served the Marine Corps, almost all of it
as Platoon Commander, Company C, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, this
enlistment culminating in his '65-'66 Vietnam duty tour and his
combat decoration, the Silver Star.
