hi everyone. so here's what i'm up to. This is a rough draft. I am going to be printing on Saurday and this is an ink drawing that i will probably use along with some other images. I was thinking really Big and then hank suggested really tiny and I kinda like that idea. they are big subjects. I am drawing mostly from photos i took years go. the photos i like in themselves. ( by the way. mom, i really like your photo) They are simple, silhouettes, pretty colors, desolate. I guess growing up in the midwest gives you an eye for the subtle. For the record, i probably won't include the circle. there's an idea there but maybe not a good enough one. anyway, i'll include finished product later. I'm excited to print. It will be my sophomore effort, which makes me cautious. The second try always seems to end poorly due to overconfidence and underexperience.
other stuff going on. my cool van has a not so cool alternator. still. so i bought a battery charger and the battery is now charging (very slowly) in the basement. sounds a bit sketchy to me but whatever works. besides, getting it fixed would be too easy. i recently learned that the hard way.
Emily was supposed to be returning from europe this saturday but i was just informed that she will be staying on a farm of sorts in france for another month. A bit selfish if you ask me. i mean what am i gaining from this situation? nothing. that's what. and nobody even asked.
ummm... i think that's all, well not all. i'll keep you posted on the printmaking. yay!
love,
maya
