This was a semester of getting to know my stone and a couple side intaglio pieces (to keep my sanity).

ongoing project

This painting is a watercolour that I did this summer. It is titled Nets for Nicholas and is part of a series that I intend to be charity pieces, with proceeds going to fund mosquito nets in malaria stricken countries. A simple $3.00 mosquito net decreases a person's risk of acquiring malaria by 90%! More information will follow as I finish the series and make the paintings available for sale.

Ballad from Daumier's group

Lihography, All hail!
The fad will n'er grow stale!
Fair, ugly, big and small,
The crayon gets them all.

Our streets go on and on,
A regular salon
Where, though you've never posed,
You'll find yourself exposed.

just horsing around?

should've stayed in bed with a bottle of something

Ok, so I had the opportunity to pull some test prints in litho on Thursday, and let me just say, I should have avoided that situation. But maybe not. When I go to do some more prints this week, I will have some learnedness in my back pocket. It is becoming one of the best hard works that a person will ever do. In that sense, it is not unlike labor and birth. It's a lot of hard work, but you would do it again in a heartbeat...and trust me, I know about that.

dirty hands

I just wanted to give a shout out today, that is so, so, soooooo good to be back in the shop getting my hands dirty. I'm thoroughly enjoying the whole zen process of litho, but I have to admit, that I was too anxious to start printing and therefore, made a new plate this morning and pulled a couple of prints this afternoon. Complete bliss!
