I have (so I thought, what with the divorce, new job and sorting out a new life)been way to busy to print and do art but something came over me and I put my hand up to be involved in a project where 54 artists create a 58 prints to create a pack of cards. It is called the trading card project (and details can be found on Barret Galleries Alstonville web page) So the prints are really tiny 6.4 x 8.9, the size of a card. Anyhow I went off to Scott's press (we have a great relationship, me and that press) and whipped off 65 prints in a few hours!!!! done done done, how easy was that! The moral of this story is just do it! because sometimes putting off printing takes more time than doing it!
I so agree, Georgina. Just jump in there and do it. Great looking cards. The project sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love the many eyes all together. Seems an audience of one eyed critics/admirers.
ReplyDeleteNice print. I like the shading and cropping.
Nice moral too; I often find myself thinking about something way longer than it would take to just do it.
Absolutely, I've been away from printing too long and started a new linocut today. I find it so meditative and therapeutic it should be labelled as medicine!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I am in awe of your work. Very inspiring words as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that Mark, I just logged on after spending all morning planning a linocut and not having got very far, despite putting in the time! so your words were very encouraging!
