lame.

I am now confronted with a task. Not a great task. But, a task that really irritates me. Copying pictures for art classes. I know there is a time and place for this, but it is seriously not in an upper level printmaking course. As a final assignment, I am supposed to copy a Rembrandt Etching-  The Three Trees. 

On other fronts, I've decided that it really isn't necessary to finish reading a book before writing a review of it. Especially if it's boring. 

Also, I'm done with my graphic short story. As soon as I make a cover and scan it, I'll post it up here.

And onward I go into the dark cover of sleep just before Monday Morning is here. Oh Joy.

And In the Beginning...

For those who have been to college while holding down a job, you know it sucks. Running on autopilot the last several weeks just trying to get stuff done before more is assigned, I somehow missed the little detail that the monotype project I was working on for my Printmaking class was supposed to be based on a piece of literature. Funny. Realizing this was realizing I had wasted two Saturday nights, and several weekday afternoons working out ideas for the project. Starting over, I realized it was maybe more fortunate that I had to go back to the drawing  board, because what I was working on was seriously leading me nowhere useful. Basing the monotype series on "The Story of Susanna" in the Apocrypha (not by my choice) ended up being a little fun. I used a bunch of stencils for the series, which took me fooorrrreeeevvverrr to cut. But, that's a different story for a different day.

Here are a couple of the monotypes. They probably  measure around 20" x 30" or so-On Rives Heavyweight Paper.
