January 2007 Archives

I ran across these and they brought back some memories, those of you who knew me when... the last is a new sketch. Five years ago I was just starting my second semester of college, it seems like forever ago. Now I'm a teacher and worlds away from the place I was then... it's a trip, completely beyond me and when I try to wrap my head around it I just end up smiling and shrugging my shoulders.

I spent some time printing proofs in the studio tonight. I'm not sure which I prefer but am glad to be making work. If you have a favorite or a suggestion please leave a comment. Tom thought my scarf was hilarious tonight so I took a picture for you, I think this would be a fun block to carve.

We took our first field trip of the year today (my first field trip as a district employee!), it was a blast. Everything went really well, except the guide insisted upon calling me Mark... the kids had a blast with that. I love my job.

I started work on a new series of prints last night in the studio. I love the first push into something new, its like opening flood gates. I'm excited about doing more work for these and seeing where they go. There is really something special about being in the studio alone. Enjoy
