Production

There haven’t been any new posts or updates to the site recently. I came to the very happy realization that it is because I am producing work! Not busy, not distracted, producing!

It has also been noted that I have a large and growing amount of drawings and watercolors on office paper samples. I am considering putting together some sort of collection, and am partially curious as to whether or not I could get a show of them somewhere. Their cohesiveness is pretty strong, and they look good together. However, I’m not entirely sure about the local artists’ associations. I had considered joining; upon further investigation most of the art is not abstract, nor is it conceptual; thus I am not sure about the camraderie available. Watch though, I’ll go to one of their meetings and everything will be fine. Maybe they need an abstract/conceptual artist about?

Flipping through the Tamarind book I found has put a bee in my bonnet: I want to print! Sadly, it’s been over a year since I have run something through a press. (Last time was my trip to Glasgow; I still haven’t printed an edition of the damn lovely plate I made over there.) Money has been tight, so I have been unable to purchase new screen material for those old screen frames I found: no serigraphy either. This needs to be rectified…

In the meantime, watercolor is proving to be a good substitute—plus I found a new adding machine! Well, “new” being the operative word. It’s a 1980s model Canon printing calculator. Makes delightful tapes of numbers and the current roll of paper takes watercolor and ink well. Perhaps I’ll put up a digital gallery of the tape paintings, I’m pleased with how they’re turning out.
