Up and running

We had a fun afternoon at the Maverick Potter yesterday. Traffic was good, conversations were fun, and the blueberry juice/fizzy water punch was the perfect refreshment on a hot afternoon. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and will continue to do so the rest of the month. There's a lot to see in addition to linocuts... including pottery by Mark Rittman and turned wood pieces by Ed Berg.

Thanks to Mark and Suzanne, Maverick Potter artist/proprietors for the opportunity to share their space!

The week ahead looks a bit... how shall I say it?... It will be a week of lots of variety as one contract job wraps up, another contract begins, I try to get a new lino and/or woodcut on the table, the DM leaves town for gigs, and I get ready to have a little display at the Salida Farmers Market next Saturday. Relief prints EVERYWHERE, that's my motto.

  4. shrr, sorry to use your phone this way, but I have to talk to dnhmw ... so, I'm not sure if "I see you don't have a site" is a comment like "I see you're wearing plaid," but I'll assume you're pleased and even a bit jealous to find someone so siteless. Thanks for the clarification about resistance, but, of course, resistance is futile.

  5. Jeffrey, I might have to start charging you minutes for your use of this line for intercontinental smartypantsness. Dinah, feel free to torment him all you want, I know where to find him if he gets out of hand. ;-)

  6. I didn't know! I'm sorry. I didn't know there was a risk of an international incident. Some of my best friends are Australian. Dinah, Sherry lives a block away, and she could park a PT Cruiser in front of my house in no time flat. So I would never intentionally behave in an untoward way.

Linocut in Progress: The final step... twice. No. Three times.

 Okay, let's wrap this thing up, shall we? How much more can there be? There's almost nothing left on this block! The background is ...
