day zero

Day one of the Facebook cleanse or purge or whatever, it is a much needed break. It’s been easy but I’ve been busy.  But now let’s see how I’ll cope while perusing craigslist for jobs, checking my emails, and other online stuff that can be tedious as all hell.

I'd like to think I was more involved with what ever was going on around me today like being in the print room for six hours, then going to Utrecht. Coming home on the X2 without looking at it on my phone was hard. I just like to turn invisible and not be noticed.

But I don't want to talk about that. It's boring. Instead I am going to talk about what I am focusing that energy on, making art. The mediums may change to fit the idea and the vision. This annoys some people. My ex husband was one of them. He had a singular, hyper focus sort of vision. He was a musician. That's all he wanted to do. I am not singular focus. Hyper focused, yes,  but the focus and medium will change. He hated that, I think it was because he couldn’t change focus.

Anyway I did my second state of my collagraph, which quite literally means a collage print. They’re fun and easy and if you have a press (ink and paper too.) cheap. I like printmaking and it serves as a reminder of how much I miss drawing, painting and creating art in general.
