Have I stated how much I utterly hate relief printing? No? Well, just to clarify: I EFFING HATE RELIEF PRINTING. Mainly because I can't obtain the level of detail that I really want to. That and carving in and out of linoleum is a bitch, even when you heat it up so the surface is just that much more pliable.

Finished one half of my next sketchbook project for "Mirror." It's the tarot "Persona" from my non-existant (but possibly in the works) Jungian Dream Symbolism deck. Before I dedicate any more time to making prints, I'll be sure to check with Cookie (aka. Mrs. T) and ask her opinion about the general outcome. Still... reductive printing with 12 colors is a bitch. Especially if said colors aren't really for printing but more for craft acrylic painting. At least it's been generating decent results... but again, no high level of detail.

Oh, and I hate airbrush as well. The secret of my success and supposed-genius is that I should be able to touch the surface of whatever media I'm working with. Airbrush is worse than scuffling and frankly I don't want to spend half of my time getting frustrated with my malfunctioning airbrush and the other half cleaning it out to see if it will improve anything.

Currently watching a Mandarin soap opera "A Dream of Red Mansions." The story is interesting (to say the most) and all of the guys do not look like women. Oh no, the look like prepubescent girls. Excessively distracting.

Guilty pleasure: Almond Joys. Those lil bitches were the bane of my existance freshman year.

And if I had known that Karen and people were going to watch The Ring instead, I would have snuck out of the house. Dammit!

Oh... it's #1205 already? Damn.
