Second Chance 007

Blah, blah, blah. I finished printing this yesterday. Today I went with Rhiannon, Jessica and Carrie to SOFA on Navy Pier. I brought my camera and only took one picture. It was of an ID label cause I didn't want to forget the name of an artist, Dusty Wolf. Thinking of SOFA made me realize that I've been writing this blog for more than a year. 2159 page hits is probably pretty lame for that amount of time.

I got new glasses and I guess they must look pretty much the same as my old ones because nobody noticed.

Second Chance 006

As I'm starting to get better at really making these prints look the way I want them to look, it seems more and more likely that I'll want to reprint the earlier ones. If that is the decision I make, it will severely affect my plans for having a thesis exhibition of my graduate work in the spring. I've known a few people that finished all of their required courses and then held off for a semester or two (or even a year or two) before finally returning to finish their degrees. I really don't want to do that. It seems like, lately, I've been at the studio or in class or manning the art gallery pretty much all day every day. I know I don't want to burn myself out, but honestly, I guess there are a few more hours on the weekends that I could be working in the studio. I'm not crying about it. In fact, I finished this print yesterday, and I got six screens ready for the next print. I'm hoping to sneak in a few color layers tomorrow when I'm supposed to be in the gallery.
