Shane Howell's NOT FOR PRINT conjures the mystery of monsters, kites, watermelon seeds and little brothers. The poems/sculptures reveal observations Shane has held dear and secret as he grew from boy child to man but never revealed until he became a father. His NOT FOR PRINT are all now printed lovingly by the hand of a graphic artist and illustrated with the sculptor's eye for found and created objects. His poem/sculptures are influenced by the magic that Shel Silverstein instills in children and adults alike. They resonate from his personal metamorphosis as he experiences the everyday through the eyes of his sons and remembers his own early observations. Escape your grownup everyday and visit NOT FOR PRINT to bask in the warmth and smile at the magic.
Shane Howell is currently the Chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Greenville Technical College. He holds an MFA from Clemson University and has exhibited widely throughout the area. Shane approaches art through several gateways. He is a Professor of Graphic and Web Design, a sculptor who has utilized steel, wood, cast metal, and a woodworking master craftsman. NOT FOR PRINT is his first incorporation of poetry in his art.
