Every now and then I like to do a self portrait to examine and document where I’m at in that point in my life. I was overdue so I whipped up this block. Now the question is: do I want to just print it with black ink on white paper or is there something else I can do to take it a little bit farther? Hopefully Ill be figuring that out later today. I have a couple other blocks I have cut and not printed because of the same question. I guess it’s time to break that log jam. So this is me on my m.c. waiting to be printed.
Yesterday, I went to Borders to see if they had a good Rembrandt book of drawings and etchings so I could cop some of his tricks. They didn’t, bit they did have a lot of books on graffiti art. I don’t see a lot of great graffiti on buildings here in Charlotte, NC, so I always enjoy watching trains go by with all of their cool out-of-town graffiti. Anyway, I got a lot of great ideas for things to try from this book in particular: Grafitti World.
