I am a fantastic procrastinator and holiday's are no exception. Especially mothers day. Over the years my mom has gotten coupons, cards, pieces of art, food, lets just say that I like to DIY. Not only is it cheaper, but it means something to her. This year however, I want to DIY something great. On top of making a card I've been sifting through some of the following ideas:

 At the moment I am living in my parent's house with my son. My son and I get separate rooms, which is nice. But this means that I don't get a room to be my studio. A place to spread out all my supplies and just go wild. Since I most likely won't get a space like that for a while. I've had to make due.

 I have a fantastic artists table set up in front of a window, next to that I have my dresser. My dresser is completely clogged up with all of my paints and gouges and brushes and inks and pens and anything else I could possibly use for my art. It's a chaotic mess but boy do I love it!

 In my printmaking class we are finishing up all of our projects (3, Luckily I'm done with one already, but boy is it stressful). My favorite project that we're working on is a woodblock. Now I may have talked about this already, but I guess that just shows how much I'm enjoying it. There's something about working with wood, carving it away and revealing an image through it that is wonderful. It's different than any other medium I have experimented with in that you are, sort of, one with your piece. Now don't think I'm going all hippy dippy one with the earth, it's just comforting to feel the wood move under your gouge and see what you can create. The best part is probably how, when you print the image, it looks totally different then what the cut did. Which is surprising, but so cool.

 Since I've been working on that I found a small piece of wood in my room and decided to go wild with it. I did two of my flowers that I doodle and draw a lot.

Yeah it has been way too long since I've posted, well, anywhere. The semester is coming to a close and I have a million projects and papers to get done before I can say I'm on summer break. At the moment I have a few projects of my own simmering on the back burner so hopefully soon I can get those started and have something to report to you guys.
Sorry for being such a stranger.

Finally got my woodblock print photos up. Sorry it took so long, but I truly enjoyed making this woodblock. I think the t-shirt turned out pretty ok as well. A little faded, but it works :)

 As I said before, it's extremely hard for me to post during the week. I'm in two art studios at the moment and those take up 90% of my time. Actually, at the moment I'm working on some extra credit for my printmaking class,
