Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Hey Tolkien fans! I always preferred the ending to the Lord of the Rings found in the books to that of the movies, especially the downfall of Saruman. Oddly enough, I’ve been thinking of Saruman’s spiteful attack on the Shire a lot over the past year and a half. Revenge, spite, humiliation. . . 010

Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 11/10/2025Ten years from now, how many enablers of and apologists for the current administration’s attack on our democracy will wonder how they can recover the integrity they have lost? However long their careers may be, whatever else they may accomplish, a lot of people are defining their legacy right now. 110

Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 12/02/2025There are lots of people - especially current and former elected officials - whose legacies are going to be defined by how they respond to the current threats to our democracy. It won’t matter what their other accomplishments may have been. Everyone needs to speak up. “Suppress Dissent”, #linocut 2111

Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 11/02/2025These days I’m mostly carving shaped blocks that I combine to make unique images. I thought I’d share some of my older things (20 years ago, jeez) when I mostly made small editioned linocuts. “Lunch Hour”, “Two Factories, Two Museums, One Tycoon”, and “Boxers”. #printmaking #linocut #printsky 1191
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 07/02/2025all the stuff I’m making recently is intended to work with sculptural elements, and not as stand-alone pieces. But it needs to hang on the wall to dry. So currently my studio feels way too orange. #printmaking #printsky #woodcut 0141
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 06/02/2025“Justice”, a #linocut I made a number of years ago, recently came to mind. #printmaking #arepublicifyoucankeepit 0302

Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I’m working in the studio today with that crazy orange color in mind. Why? Because that’s one of the rooms at Blankspace in Wilkinsburg PA that Marti Haykin and I will be occupying with our first truly collaborative art installation. “Shelter” will be happening from 3/1 - 3/16. Stay tuned! 030

Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Opening tomorrow at StopWatch Gallery & Studio in Greensburg PA. A show full of great prints from three portfolios that were a part of the Mid America Print Council Conference earlier this year. 070
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 25/11/2024“Cause and Effect”, a #linocut I made earlier this year for a portfolio dealing with the #climatecrisis. The portfolio was exhibited at the wonderful Mid America Print Council conference that was held this year at Kansas State University. #printmaking 2261
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Sometimes the clutter and happenstance of work in progress is more exciting than anything else in the studio. #printmaking #workinprogress #drawing 0140
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Here’s where I’m headed with the raven I proofed a couple of days ago. That piece is about 5’ long. It’s a start. #printmakers #woodcut 0251
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 17/11/2024These are my three most recent finished pieces. They are 36” square woodcut/linocut and acrylic wash on muslin. I use shaped blocks so that I can selectively hand-print them in different configurations. The piece with the moon is printed on grey fabric. #woodcut #printmaking 2140
Marc Snyder @marcstopwatch.bsky.social · 17/11/2024are there #printmakers here? Here’s a proof of a #woodcut I finished carving a couple of days ago. 3331
