Two versions of the same plates. One base color of blue- made from cereal box, then 3 loose plates for the branches. The 2nd image has the plates printed twice. for the first image I crumpled the base plate. The crumpled base plate works really well at creating a nice sky image. I think a rainbow roll could give it a nice sunrise image. i ended up wrinkling up the paper pretty badly, I need to pick up some decent paper I settled in with Mø's latest album. #artistsofinstagram #printplay #printmaking I'm thinking this is the winning idea.

Studio vibin' got Tidal playing tunes I'm not cool enough to discover and making class samples. This is a trash printmaking puzzle plate. A design is drawn into the plate. Lines incised, then it is cut apart and then inked individually before being pieced back together. This trash printmaking method can be inked intaglio or relief, this sample is relief. I used akua liquid inks since RAD was gifted a good sample of mixing colors by @mitchelka I did not ink them evenly since I want the kids to play around with ink rolling. Lots of options with #trashprintmaking and puzzle plates. #printplay #printmaking #ecofriendly #lesstoxicprintmaking

Almost 3500 words down. It needs some fleshing out but so far so good. #sapphic #writersofinstagram #novel

Long weekend of reworking a novel I started in 2020. I wrote the bare bones of it... About 7000 words back then. Now an outline is finished and another 1000 words added. #writersofinstagram #sapphic #stationery

I've been working on a few self portraits as part of another project and I really dislike these 2imagea. There is nothing wrong with them... They just aren't what I wanted them to be. I need to try them again on heavy watercolor paper. This paper is sucking the paint I to it and leaving a full surface. A problem I've never had with these watercolors. Surface is important for watercolors. #watercolors #selfportraits #artistsofinstagram

If you give me art materials I will make art then try to use up the paint in an artistic way. My image was all about the big imposter syndrome feels I've been having lately. New job, rebooting the podcast, doing shit I love after being in a toxic work environment for so long boom. but this helped. After the selfish portrait I made a couple of random pieces that I might transform into books...dunno.then weren't out to eat played games and bowling. And wow I suck at bowling.

Lots of great texture here. The photos show the issue. The overlapping colors make a deep greeny black, it's great but makes the actual black hard to read. I should have used a more cyan shade of blue. That said I like the design. I ended up splitting the edition 10 with black and 10 without. I also used it as a teaching moment with my group tonight. These will be dry by the time I'm back in the studio on Monday. Then they'll go up around the building. #letterpress #artistsofinstagram #blackhistorymonth

Quick n dirty print for black history month. Using the roughness of the type and under inking to their full potential. As the colors darken (last color to print will be black or brown) I even out the type so they print fully. I'm letting these dry at least overnight then I'll get the last pass of color on them. I need to get some extender for another poster idea I have. #letterpress #artistsofinstagram #art #printmaking

Tonight I'm making some simple staple bound sketchbooks with my students. Step one of making this successful? Making a jig for my long reach stapler. This let's the student jog their paper and covers together. Clip them, then slid the bundle in and then line up the top edge to press in 3 staples. Easy. I also use a similar jig when I make Useful Journaling and No Brand Notebooks. It means I have fewer seconds. #comfortableshoesstudio #bookbinding #art #easier #makergonnamake
