I'm a printmaker without a press right now. I love printmaking...it's all about the process. ...Building up layers of ink to make more saturated colors, drawing with ink (figures and sometimes various skeletal objects) making mistakes and problem solving...I miss working in a shop.
Not having a press makes it tough to do. I would like to save up some money to buy a cheap one, but I haven't been able to do that yet. I foresee having a couple of bills from the hospital.
I need to make myself paint and draw. I know that sounds bad--I shouldn't have to make myself do something that's interesting--but drawing and painting just isn't the same as pulling a print. I need to clean up my room really well and clear a space (again!) so that I can get some work done. When I get depressed/upset, my living space goes to crap and I don't get anything accomplished. I need to find a way through this...otherwise, no work gets done. I'm neglecting my real job.
