QUEST: 1,000 Woodcuts Update
September 2003 -  197 completed
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Mostly thanks to my printmaking friends and their crazy adventures, I managed another 5 little prints and I'm nearing the 200 landmark! Oh I also survived the Colorado adventure, a very positive experience on many different levels. It rains in Colorado, something foreign to this sunworshipper, but I really didn't care all that much...all that beauty!

Here is the latest diary entry detailing some thougths about the adventure:

New Stuff:

As promised, here are the various prints made for exchange projects with my favorite group of online printmakers. Just to explain a bit how exchanges work, one crazy soul volunteers to coordinate the project. Then a handful of printmakers, let's say 30, each make 30 prints and send them to the aformentioned crazy soul. The coordinator, as we call the poor thing, collates the prints after they arrive and sends back a full set of 30 different prints to each printmaker. It's a great way of collecting awesome prints! Here are my contributions:

6 of Clubs April, for a calendar A demo sign for my booth

The Joker Yucca Pods, for another calendar
