Return from the dark side. Almost.

I'm still deep in the mysterious zone known as "I-printed-a-lot-for-a-long-time-now-I'm-not-sure-what-to-do-with-myself." But there are signs I am emerging.


Yep. Them there be fancy schmancy new tools what just arrived yesterday. (Clearly my usual habit of crafting articulate English sentences is still on walkabout.)

And this might or might not be a photo
of a copy
of a photo
that I might or might not be using as reference
whilst I might or might not be drawing up a new lino.


You just never know.

  3. Jen for the win! I knew you'd know it. 'Tis indeed an owl. I tried to avoid it... owls are complicated (like knitting projects, Dinahmow!) with their crazy feather patterns.

  4. I use to paint like a madman for years, then I stopped, and only recently, did I start over again. I think that I understand you a little bit. !

  6. Gaëtan, this happens frequently for me! If I have a few months of very intense print work I need some time to recover. And once I stopped working almost completely for two years. Starting again was SO difficult.

    Jen, the Canuck in you MIGHT know this one. 'Tis a small forest-y species. ;-)
