Because this has been looping in my head all week, an attempt at a faux linocut in photoshop. Life is mostly deadlines right now, so I haven’t had a chance for any printmaking. I love carving blocks. Nothing beats the smell of ink. An ideal day for me would be cueing up an album or three and running a block through a press for ages. My biceps would be five stars if this was, in fact, my daily routine. But most of all, I love having something tangible in my hands, not just a collection of pixels stored amongst wires and uploaded to the ether. So maybe I’ll get around to turning this into an actual print, when things quiet down a bit.
