My friend Cathy (go to her blog right now to see some amazing printmaking. It’s okay. I’ll wait.)
My friend Cathy had a great quote on Facebook this morning, “My sis shared a quote with me yesterday and I thought it could easily be applied to making art. Here it is in it’s original form to inspire lacing up the shoes and heading out the door: Someone busier than you is running right now.”
This is so true. I immediately thought of my progress in the 30 Day Art Challenge. I’ve done 8 engravings so far. Not bad, I’m just one day behind. I like the pieces so far, but I’m not sure if I love them. That being said, I love doing them, the engraving, the inking, the printing. I do love printmaking.
If you want to see someone’s work I do love, and he is totally on top of the challenge, check out the work of Danny Mansmith. Danny left a comment on my blog a couple of days ago and I’m so glad he did. I’m blown away by his textile work and can’t wait to see it all in person. His blog is here.

I think it’s great that you’re doing this 30 day art initiative. I always have high hopes for such things that I try on my own, but give up after a few days. I wondering if you’re having success because you’re working as a collective? Is that more motivating? Have you tried printing your plates as relief? (Thanks for the shout out, btw!)
