I just pulled to most unsuccessful print in my entire life. This ABOMINATION is so bad that is rolls right back around to possibly interesting. This was my experimental centra carborundum collograph. I just... I just couldn't make it happen. I believe at this point my best course of action is to throw my plate into a dumpster and walk away. Not ( Read more... )

So who all reads Claymore? Because this month's chapter was made of so much creepy win I am dying to talk about it with someone. You know who you are. I am really excited about the series even if he is the LAZIEST manga artist in history. Strategic use of shadows I swear ( Read more... )

Ta daa! I finished my Adv Print class with a bang this semester! This print is 24 inches x 36 inches (freaking huge)

I have recently discovered a group that records audio files of public domain books. It's great! I just play them from my laptop while I am carving so I don't get as bored or distracted. Today I was listening to "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" read by a delightful British voice. 
Also I have a newly photographed print to share!

So for some reason my printmaking projects are giving me a lot more anxiety than usual. Of course there is a lot of reasons and I am doing much more ambitious prints than before but that doesn't reduce this gut sinking feelings of anxiety I am having over these prints. I think working on 2 prints at once doesn't help either but that's what I get ( Read more... )

Ok so I have a Deviantart account and I post up my stuff there like any good 13 year old would. So apparently they have something called "Daily Deviations" where moderators feature selected pieces every day. Apparently this is a pretty big deal and it directs a lot of people to your art. So my latest print got Daily Deviation yesterday and I went ( Read more... )

Yesterday my roommate informed me that I talk in my sleep EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. She's a night owl and usually gets to bed well after I'm asleep while in the past my roommates went to bed before me. I knew I talked in my sleep before now from sleepovers and stuff but I guess I had no idea how frequent it was. Ambili said that it usually isn't a lot of ( Read more... )

This lovely piece has been my recent source of agony. I am really excited with how well it came out and maybe it is my best print so far. The print is 18"x18" and it took me ungodly amounts of time to carve it. I am trying to think about Zen Buddhism in this piece and my own personal search through zen. The actual paper is much tanner than this ( Read more... )

ADVERTISEMENTS?! on MY livejournal? I have to be logged on not to see them... this is pissing me off and I know they weren't here earlier this week. I thought us original LJ members were exempt from their advertising disaster. I guess they weren't making enough money on the fist batch and they had to broaden their base. It's not cool because even ( Read more... )
