doodles are easy, comfortable - while this art thought a day has been very good for me, I need to push further beyond what just comes out in scribbles. I got a pile of printing plates out yesterday, still wrapped in brown paper with cardboard inserts to keep them from getting scratched. That was the problem, I wasn't ready to scratch them, much less paint on them with tar and litho-crayon and soak them in mortar mix. I don't think a print a day is realistic, for several reasons, 1. it often takes me weeks to finish a plate.. (I stop and change directions) I'll run a series of proofs, a proof or mono-type might be possible for a month or so. Then I'll be out of paper. That is a good thing.. Probably need to move from this site. Can't stand white backgrounds. Why does google and flickr and too many others use white as the default bd ? Well not going to figure it out today, got to get dressed and out the door today. But, I'll think about it :) later self ( always feels like I'm writing these blurbs to myself).
