So my year of making things hasn’t gotten off to the ideal start. I was so enthusiastic about new beginnings at the end of last year but then some time usurping things occur along with more than a few rejections and I’m feeling a bit low at the moment. However I do have lots of new work to post. These are some photogravure’s (similar to etchings) that didn’t make it into a works on paper competition! Usually they’re not so talkative.

Taking the risk to create something from nothing is always a bit scary.
Don’t let them get you down. Try a new approach.

Rejection isn’t an insecticide
it’s not perminant. Your not just good looking, you have artistic talent, a great life perspective and work that expresses that and your personality. If you had an exhibition, like nearly every artist, most people who saw it wouldn’t buy anything, but you just hang there until you get a buyer or you get someone who wants to commission or hire you, everyone feels low until that happens. IAdd the Dalai Lama on twitter, he has lots of tweets that can make you feel better.

If I were hosting an art competition you would be accepted in a second. These prints have a beautiful way of playing with the density of ink, and really take advantage of the subtleties of the intaglio process. I think you should be awfully proud of them.
