No, to the dismay of my web designer, I still haven't activated the shopping cart feature of my website. Poster shoppers, almost ready for you! Plus, I am not sure my fine art will be sold that way. People will have to slide me little pieces of paper with bids for the art prints. I'll read them, and say, "oh, no dear. I was thinking something more like this figure," and slide it back with an extra zero or two.

I am always curious about the other printmakers out there: the etchers with their plates, woodcutters with their blocks, and lithographers with their stones. How do they do it? How do they not fall in ...

Alright. Get your kitchen after I graduate from grad school, win the lottery, and get a studio with TONS of counter space. Sound fair?

LesliePVD is printing another floor. This one is 135 tiles and is crazy exhausting to print! But it is going to be fabulous. Hot pink linoleum here we go!

Saw them! Those are the ones I saw yesterday through the window ans said they looked hot, but I couldn't tell what was the surface and what was the ink through my limited view. Awesome colors!

Ooh, yeah, yesterday they were mostly white on a pink tile. Maybe you saw the neon green. Must look the same from the window. But the orange was added today and the whole thing came together.

LesliePVD Submitted three Albatross Project prints to this juried show outside Philadelphia. Fingers crossed I'll get in. There were SO many pieces there. I hope I don't get lost in the shuffle.

Wah-wah. None of us got into the show! No one from my department, no one from painting. I think no one from Tyler! Oh well. I am now more curious than ever to see what made it!

LesliePVD Keith Haring was born sunny side up. I recommend this documentary. You get a much better idea about this good egg.
