Me as a new Auntie! My sister Kristine and her husband Ben- the proud new parents! And the little guy himself-- they may still be thinking of a name for him, but I think they will choose the name Evan-- so little Evan John Erickson-- Born- May 29 12:15am 6lbs. 19"long Brownish/Blonde Hair
So I just thought I would add some of my other work onto this blog since it is supposed to be about printmaking and art- That and my mom suggested it! Do mom's always know best? Was this a good idea? Who knows- I did it anyways! Maybe I'll add more with color some other time!
"Prostitute" These two red images are an odd print and detail of my last print pulled this semester...I tried my hand at monoprinting in a subtractive method and I got a little carried away with the solvent, but it's different and I like that about it... and then..... "Prostitute" ... end of the semester and these are the images that I am most satisfied with and they are altered versions of the original color set- This print is still far from being worked out, I have a text plate to work into the image... there was a bad wax incident that ruined both my carpet at home as well as two fairly decent prints. Oh well- I guess I learned from that one, but not giving up yet- this need to keep torturing the plate further won't go away so I am merely the slave in this process, but I do it gladly and willingly... too bad I kinda have to wait through the whole summer in order to see how things should end.
