Joshua Bindewald told me that my artwork was in the newspaper… and it was! So excited. The article doesn’t say anything specifically about anybody’s work from the show. It’s more general and fairly complimentary, although I get the feeling that the pricing comment was poking fun at my price tag (haha, whoops). The article was posted online as well, but I went ahead and took a screencap for your reading pleasure:

and the actual article:

Yay. This makes all those feelings of failure from last year go away, albeit temporarily.

I forgot I did this back in…April? Geez, how horrible of me. I think it’s mostly due to the final print not looking too fantastic. Still, the printing was fun.

My friend Aaron showed me how to make Gocco prints with his nifty printer. I like the printing, but not crazy by the inks. I’d rather silkscreen, I guess, but I can see the appeal for the average crafter.

I’ve been interning at an artist book center. It’s unpaid, but I only work one day and I consider it a treat more than anything. I get to spend the shift looking at different kinds of artist books, comics, and zines. I just think of it as scheduled research.<3

Anyway, all I do is begin the foundation of what will be their online catalog system for their library, something that would be functional for the public to use when they want to research for projects. It’s fun. I took some cameraphone photos of some of the books I see each week.

In other news, I miss my camera. It went defunct some weeks ago. Hopefully I’ll get a camera by the end of summer.  It’s essential to my blogging and some of my art process/documentation. I suppose in the meantime I’ll rely on scanning and taking photos of with my phone/laptop. Bah.

Here is the first of them. I’m also working on the other portrait simultaneously, but I’ll post about that next time. I hope to start on something different soon (I have photos of a friend that will be useful for a digital print project), but my paper is due this week, so I can only juggle so much. Next week is a different story!

Edit: It’s weird how much easier it is to find errors when the image is reduced to such a small size. I’m noticing them much more now than when I was working on it. I shall go back and make sure it’ll be fixed!
