The Grass is Always Greener...
Today I have a whole bunch of new states plates coming to me, and I will soon be printing 8 more of the states prints! Yay! It's gonna take me a while, though, since they're 3 color runs, but I'm pretty excited. You'll have to wait for the big reveal later this week to find out which states made the cut.
Over the weekend, I finished up another 5x7 print that's been in progress for a long time. And in the background, we're always printing for the calendar. That's just going to be a never-ending process. And that's a good thing!
So back to the print at hand:
And here's another that I did a few years back. I have a few copies sitting around and I've never done anything with them. This is the first woodcut I did several years ago as part of a weekend workshop at the Frist art museum in Nashville.
One of Vanderbilt's printmaking professors taught it, and I stayed up half the night carving this so that I could have something quality to print. I also remember turning my nose up at a husband-and-wife couple who carved a very primitive teddy bear. I'm such a snob.

I bet they scrapbook too.
If only you knew me in letterpress class, talk about SNOB!
Seriously people! You are in college...try to at least come up with something better than you did in elementary school! I know it's a state school and not a private are college, but you can do better than a leopard print border for your Brittany Spears lyrics quote.
p.s. thanks for the address (ooh you have an iPhone) I'm shipping you a package Priority Mail on Friday
An art snob is the very best kind of snob. :) I was usually the only art major in most of my college art classes, and while I didn't necessarily look down on others art, I did always feel superior which turned me into a bit of a snob, too, until I took clay class where I SUCKED!!!
