Following a professional career in martial arts (and several broken bones), Tom Callos is pursuing a quieter calling in relief print making. He found mastery of martial arts through repetition and seeks to do the same in his printmaking so he set out to create 1,000 portraits, believing a martial arts adage that until you’ve done something 1,000 times you haven’t really tried to learn it. Tom likes to focus his work on people who he considers to be upstanders and has recently worked on a series called People of Boise, where he features local upstanders. I hope you enjoy my interview with Printmaker Tom Callos.
