Printmakers past the 12, 13, and 14 hour mark

We just recently had our second visit with Kiki Smith and Valerie Hammond. As always, it was an amazing experience. However, at a certain point, the lack of sleep and tiredness does set in amongst us wily printmakers. The good news is, it usually winds up with things that, if not hilarious at the time, are still funny after a good nights worth of sleep.

Etching chaos!

Litho chaos!

how I feel about the fine art world

"There's one at every convention or comic mart or work-in or signing, always one nervous and naive young novice who, during a lull in the questions-and answers session will raise one fluttering hand aloft and inquire, tremulously, "Where do you get your ideas from?" And do you know what we do? We sneer. We lampoon and ridicule the sniveling little oaf before his peers, we degrade and humiliate him utterly and rend him into bloodied slivers with our implacable and caustic wit. We imply that even to have voiced such a question places him irretrievably in the same intellectual category as the common pencil-sharpener. Then, when we've wrung every last sadistic laugh out of this pitiful little blot, we have the bailiffs take him outside and work him over. No, I know it isn't nice. But all the same, it's something that we have to do.
The reason why we have to do it is pretty straight forward. Firstly, in the dismal and confused sludge of opinion and half-truth that make up all artistic theory and criticism, it is the only question worth asking. Secondly, we don't know the answer and we're scared that somebody will find out."

Please excuse the poor quality of the photos, they were taken with my cell phone and had to be adjusted to make the image more visible, so some may look over-sharpened.
