I'm writing an essay right now and I can't handle it!!! So I thought I would update my journal.

I submitted four scratchboards to the Whodunit? Mystery Art Sale at my school and if they sell, I will get a lovely tax receipt!! So yeah, no actual money for me because it's being donated to our school.

I'm also doing the Book Arts Fair next month, December 5th I think, and I'll have a table where I'll be selling my prints. I don't have anything "book"-like, but printmakers are invited to sell their work. I don't expect much to be sold, but there are some very interesting groups and press companies that will be attending, so I may make some connections.

Finally, in February the OCAD printmaking department is doing a print exchange with a university in Melbourne, Australia and I'm one of the 25 individuals from my school taking part in it. We will be making an edition of 50 prints, whatever medium, must be 8"x8" so it won't be so bad. And in the end, I will get one print each from my fellow students and the 25 people in Australia!! and it looks DAMN GOOD on a c/v so i'm really excited for that. I haven't really decided yet what i'll be doing....most likely an etching or relief.... we'll see.

Other than that, school is really good. I have major muscles now because of the physicality of printmaking, and doing it almost everyday gets really something. I've also started a wee little blog on wordpress.com, kind of a journal/diary for myself on my progress of work that i'm doing. I just realized that in the future it would be great to know how i did what i did, and this will keep it logged. And its also a way for me to vent if I have any frustrations with any projects which is gooooood.
