I’ve been wanted to make more prints lately, but I haven’t managed to bring myself to. Sad isn’t it? How come I always get great big plans but when it comes time to implement them, I can’t do it? Horrible.

Well this time I’ve forced a deadline to be creative onto myself by signing up to participate in Printmakers.info Print Exchange Six. The theme is homage and the the deadline is July 5th. So I’ve given myself a goal. Now to just… come up with an idea!! Hopefully I won’t have a creative block. I’m very excited about this because one of the prints I actually come up with will be put on display [somewhere that i can't remember.] I’ve even added a counter over there –> so I can time myself. Oh, and by the way, I linked myself on Printmakers.info, yay!! Do you make prints? Go there!

On another note, yesterday I scored some pre-stretched cheap-o canvas-paper canvases that my work was gonna throw away. Woo hoo! I’m gonna gesso the crap out of the cheap print on the front and create somethin’ pretty. I scored 3 square ones that and 1 long one. I dont know the exact sizes but they’re pretty good in size. I can’t wait. I’m gonna dig out what sampler paintstiks I have and go to town. Plus I’m gonna order a new set and maybe some extra ones too. This way I can actually oil paint without having to “paint”. I can draw my paintings… (which I’m better at anyway.)

Well I just spent my lunch break drawing out another design for print. It’s a jellyfish and I think it will be about…. 2 or 3 plates. We’ll see. I have to sit and plan the carving just a little better, but here’s a sneakpeek.
