Pulling another late one at the Pindi Printshop, we’re about a third of the way through a mass editioning stint. The three of us are editioning 12 tiny drypoints. They have to go to the framers in the morning but they dry quickly in this atmosphere. Don’t have time to write anymore. Back to gettingContinue reading “Late And Manky.”

Frustration!
Having terrible technical problems blogging from the Pindi Printshop this evening.

It’s sure to find its way into aContinue reading “Pulling A Late One”
Teeny Tiny Tryouts

I haven’t used it for quite a while and I needed some practice.
