Some links on pictures might be broken; I'll fix 'em as I find 'em. (Heck, if you find some, please tell me. It'd make my life ever so much easier!)falseOlivia2006-07-26T11:00:00-05:002006-07-26T16:05:24Z2006-07-26T16:04:54Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-115392989434426285DreamsI had the best dream last night.
I was visiting my old printmaking prof Justin in some bizarre art school somewhere. (Justin had managed to grow some odd sprout of hair where his hairline should've been.) I was watching a critique some new litho students were doing. My husband waited with me for Justin to finish the class. After the critique, Justin was all "Hey! How're you doing?" He thenfalseOlivia2006-07-09T18:34:00-05:002006-07-09T23:56:58Z2006-07-09T23:55:06Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-115248930633604710AllieviationWhile combatting the mystery injury, I've been working on new t-shirt stencils and experimenting with screen printing some more. I found a delightfully lame piece of clip art with some 80s guy proclaiming "Paint it!" While I typically strive to create my own t-shirt art, a copyright free image that just screams to be put on a t-shirt must be obeyed. After making some modifications, I cut thefalseOlivia2006-07-02T20:00:00-05:002006-07-03T01:15:36Z2006-07-03T01:15:36Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-115188933606019216Pain and Anguish!The studio is almost cleared out, save items which I am going to store in the garage of a generous friend. I am dragging my feet getting the whole thing over with: 1) this whole ordeal is depressing me more than it should and 2) I have a mysterious back injury which prevents me from picking things up.
Figuring I'm only in my mid-20s, this back problem thing falls into the very "not good"falseOlivia2006-05-30T00:37:00-05:002006-05-30T05:58:07Z2006-05-30T05:58:07Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-114896868753931257Boxes Upon BoxesMy husband and I cleaned out the storage closet that is supposed to house most of the studio's supplies this weekend. It looks painfully small; I couldn't help dragging my feet when I went down to the studio garage to start sorting out what gets packed and what gets semi-packed (so I can continue to use contents within). The whole month has proved a bit frustrating as I have produced almost nofalseOlivia2006-05-17T12:21:00-05:002006-05-17T17:36:18Z2006-05-17T17:36:18Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-114788737826626326$4 PressureA while back, I made a mod for my shower to wash out screens. Well, the whole things works pretty good, but for stubborn photo emulsion, I need more pressure! I wanted to use some sort of garden hose jet as most cheap shower heads just don't have the blast-your-skin-off kind of pressure I want. Here's a simple fix I did to add more power!
1) Purchased a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter and a ordinary gardenfalseOlivia2006-05-16T10:57:00-05:002006-05-16T16:12:23Z2006-05-16T16:12:23Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12979904.post-114779594365964098Project: Shrink StudioWell well well. I did some measuring in the studio: a chalk square that is 15ft x 6ft now engulfs most of the room. When a problem is physically laid out in front of your eyes, it helps to solidify what will happen. Studio 4A, I think, is going to have to be moved completely out of the garage, and I will stop paying rent on the whole place. As much as I loathe them, it almost seems prudent to usefalse
