Old Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, 1900

Wisconsin architect and printmaker Charles Clark Reynolds (1893-1969) produced this etching of the Door County port city of Sturgeon Bay for the Federal Art Project of the WPA in 1941. Reynolds, who was born in Sturgeon Bay, ran a successful architectural firm with offices in Manitowoc and Green Bay, Wisconsin from 1920-1934. Andrew Stevens, curator emeritus of prints, drawings and photographs at the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, made these observations about another copy of the print at the Wisconsin Historical Society in his 1998 exhibition catalog, 150 Years of Wisconsin Printmaking:

The print's title and the notation on the plate that identifies the image as being "Sturgeon Bay 1900" suggest a nostalgic purpose for the work. Instead of presenting the city as it was when the print was made in 1941, he looked back forty years, perhaps by reference to photography, to present if at the turn of the century [as Reynolds himself would have known it as a boy]. As if to reference further the retrospective stance of the work, there is a pencil notation in the print's margin that identifies it as having been printed on antique paper. This retrospective aspect of the work . . . may also reflect some of the historical goals of other projects of the WPA.

Our copy of the print is part of a portfolio of prints from the Wisconsin WPA, and this image is from a digitized version of that print from our digital collection Wisconsin Arts Projects of the WPA, which was made possible with generous financial support from The Chipstone Foundation.

MYAAP SHARES NEW VIDEO SINGLE "I AIN'T HIDIN" (FEAT. MG SLEEPY)

Shooting star of Milwaukee’s burgeoning rap scene, Myaap has just released a new single “I Ain’t Hidin” (feat. Mg Sleepy). This time straying away from the frenetic clapping that's become synonymous with Myaap and her region's sound, her latest track combines a bouncy, infectious drumline with her signature playful energy as she links up with Ohio rapper Mg Sleepy. After recently garnering over a million views from its Instagram snippet and subsequent attention from Sexyy Red and MIKE, “I Ain’t Hidin” follows Myaap’s recent foray into TikTok virality.

This has been backed by her recent TikTok phenomenon “Getting to It”, which samples ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”, along with other hits, such as “Wham'' and “Party Crackin'' (1.3M+ Streams). Despite releasing her first track only a year ago, Myaap has quickly garnered a cult-following, and not to mention over 6 Million accumulative streams for her danceable, bass heavy and high-BPM beats that combine Southern bounce with more contemporary songs coming out of the Chicago and Detroit street rap scenes.

While Milwaukee's rap scene has existed for decades, it has long been an unsung hero, existing (and thriving) in the shadow of much larger, more prominent metropolitan heavy-weights. Truly Midwestern in its fusion of subcultures, it exists at the crossroads of America: Southern in its influences, Eastern in its sentiments, and undeniably West Coast in the celebration of carefree jouissance. Myaap stands at the forefront of this cultural moment, helping to give the city its long overdue credit with each subsequent release – including her new single “I Ain’t Hidin” (feat. Mg Sleepy) and her forthcoming mixtape Big Myaap Not the Lil One, out 1/26.

Mr M. was my favorite client. He grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, and he wanted to 'recreate' his memories of the 1950s and 60s in paintings.

Newborn calves can look terribly skinny. They fatten up quickly!

He sent me a photo of his dad with him and his sister. I added them in.

Dang, I love Jersey cows! I'm sure glad I got to paint these.

Hi! If you found this page from one of my AMKE trading cards, congratulations!

I’ll be making more next year, so bring them back if you want to trade. I’ll try branching out to other franchises a bit more.

The cards are made from recycled paper and each are hand-drawn directly on the card. So they’re all one-of-a-kind!

I will probably bring them to some other Wisconsin-based events as well.

I really hope they didn’t get thrown out after the convention closed. If anyone was in the trading room, let me know if they were saved.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

FRANK UTPATEL

On this last Wednesday in May we present a wood engraving entitled Farmer's Holiday #4 by the noted Wisconsin artist Frank Utpatel (1905-1980). Utpatel made this engraving in the late 1930s as a Wisconsin artist in the Federal Art Project of the WPA. He is remembered mainly as an illustrator of fantasy, horror, and science fiction stories, especially through his longtime collaboration with  August Derleth who founded the Arkham House publishing firm in Sauk City, Wisconsin, a major publisher in this genre, especially the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Although he is remembered for his work as an illustrator, he was also a highly accomplished wood engraver.

This print was scanned as part of our digital collection Wisconsin Arts Projects of the WPA from a portfolio of original prints in Special Collections that bears the title Making a Woodcut, although most to of the prints stored here are mainly lithographs, etchings, and linocuts.

The Wisconsin Arts Projects of the WPA digital collection was made possible with generous financial support from The Chipstone Foundation.

Printing the blue on the second day of the printing schedule. Here we have the recently posted text block of 14 pt Franklin Gothic Italic typography poetry, if that’s a thing. It’s embarrassing that I’ve had this press for nearly 30 years and this is the first time I have experimented with a color blend or fade across the rollers. Let’s just say it worked. Really well. As in the only surprise was that the results are more beautiful than I had imagined they would be.
