I haven't picked up a paint brush in while and I used to be really into painting on canvas. For some reason, I stopped. After seeing these pieces I want to paint again. Thanks for inspiring me guys.

Woah, what model? I've been wanting one for years and I finally found a used one at a thrift store. Sadly, no manual...

ha, i guess. i took an actual printmaking class for two years so i definently did a lot of other mediums(etching, monoprints, etc). i can see how, they are super easy and cheaper than etching for sure. i prefer etching honestly, a lot more manipulation and such.

and chombo, good stuff right there. a fine job, sir.

ugh, i hate running prints without a real press. i even tried running a print over with car to get good pressure but it didn't work(i'm assuming the tire is too squishy to make enough pressure).

printing dry point by hand is pretty much an exercise in frustration. doing any form of intaglio/etching without a proper press is futile. And it kills me inside

I have a BFA in printmaking and no access to proper facilities for anything anymore and it KILLS me.

I have no talent save shooting a few bike frames - but here's my daughter with her painting hanging in the museum's young artists exhibition here. Wish I had a shot of her Bob Dylan painting to post.

that sounds familar. painting just doesn't do it for me like cutting rubylith does.
sewing is getting there though.
