As I'm sitting here eavesdropping and sipping my sugar water (is it really eavesdropping if someone runs their mouth almost non-stop at an elevated volume for an hour and a half?), it occurs to me that being a teacher must be about the worst job in the world. It's one thing to have to deal with disinterested or otherwise distracted students, but

First things first, I've got an art blog called Ink Is My Perfume. Unfortunately, it's my art that I'm focusing on, but if you want to keep up with the work I'm doing, I think that's where I'll be talking about it. There are some ink drawings right now, some prints (with more of both coming), and I might start doing features on other artists that

I finally finished my giant woodcut yesterday, which means that I didn't have to spend my Saturday in the studio trying to maintain focus on drudgery. I've spent the last week lowering the areas that are supposed to print white, which is dull dull dull. But it's done, and I figured I'd take the opportunity to grab some coffee and try to jump-

There's one thing I've learned over the years - don't make decisions when you're sick. Maybe I'm the only one, but when I get sick the warts on everything appear and I hate pretty much everything. Seeing as how I've been sick for the last week and a half, I'm trying to remind myself that I currently have a bad attitude towards everything in life
