Kitchen Printshop Project, Part IV: Life is Short! So Get to Printing!!
If y’all recall, over the past few weeks I’ve been exploring friends’ at-home printshop/studio spaces across the country! We’ve already seen the fascinating spaces of Hope Amico in California and Ann Flowers-Gosser in Illinois, as well as the beginnings of my own printing space in my very own tiny apartment kitchen! Today we’ll be looking […]
Weekend Travel Journal: From Ohio to Detroit
I finally gave in and decided not to force myself to carry around the beautiful, but gigantic pretentious sketchbook I’ve been working in as of late. I’m still drawing in it at home, but it’s too much to lug around all the time. I have, instead, opted for a small folio Blake constructed in the […]
They Say It’s Your Birthday: From the Self Embarrassment File
Birth, April 21st, 1985 So, it feels self-indulgent to waste this time and go through my old photos and try to identify at least one for each year of my life. But I did it anyway. I told Blake I was working on this post, and I didn’t know why I was doing it, but […]
Kitchen Printshop Project, Part III: A Peek into Ann Flowers’ Studio
Okay, so it’s not just “Ann Flowers,” it’s “Ann Flowers Gosser” now. But “Ann Flowers” is just so cute! She was even a “flower girl” at my wedding. Obviously, over-qualified for the job, but thankfully she still agreed to do it! So, she’ll always be “Flowers” to me. But that “Gosser” guy seems pretty cool… […]
Kitchen Printshop Project, Part II: A Peek Into Hope’s Studio
Vandercook Universal Although I do have great access to a letterpress in town, I wanted to have the ability to print a little bit at home, too. I decided to start a Printshop in my kitchen. I shared some pics of my Kitchen Printshop Project at the end of last month. I then asked some […]
Orange Barrel on Etsy + Blake’s New Website Design
I started an Etsy shop back in 2009, posted a bunch of items, and made a few sales. It was fun! A great way to clean out our inventory of prints to make room for new ones! However, through grad school and the years of working multiple, time-hog jobs afterwards, I largely ignored the shop. […]
Google Mapping My C.V., Part II
A few days ago, I turned the exhibitions list from my curriculum vitae into a Google map. It was so much fun, I decided to add in print collections around the globe that have my work in them as well as input my professional experience. I put the finished product up on my “Press” Page […]
Google Mapping my CV
[googlemaps https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=208317487428128910857.0004d9643d4e2b3c1976c&t=m&ll=9.795678,-99.84375&spn=152.979774,298.828125&z=1&output=embed&w=425&h=350] While working on teaching job applications today, I decided that the way of the future is the Google Maps Curriculum vitae! Okay, so maybe it’s a little crazy of me, but I like seeing the exhibitions I’ve been in as a map rather than a list. It’s just more fun that way! Hope […]
