The new flags and the Blue Think Box....

 Hello again and again. Here are pics of the finished new flag project. This will be the last flags... for a bit. I am pretty happy with this set. The difference being they were made during regular day light hours... WEIRD. I have not finished any projects before 7 a.m. for almost 15 years. It was a learning curve but it does seem to have some benefits. The early morning hours are now just spent with koans and hot tea.

 This is the front of the Blue Think Box with the new flags. They look weird there but I kind of like it. Working in a collaborative space has been interesting and challenging. All of the sudden there are people around at random times! And you talk to them while you work. I have never agreed with the artist in isolation and being a mad genius... bullshit I say. But it has been good to change up habits and be working with the others in the Blue Think Box. As this is something I have considered for years it is good to see it come alive. There are no written rules... just come down here and make. And that is exactly what is going on.....

For the next few projects I will be putting the flags away as not to develop a dependance on them. No thanks. Some small prints and some wood cuts in the near future. Many good fun to come. As a 40nothing. I won't be famous in the art world... nor want to be. I have decided this gives me lots of liscence to move forward. I guess I have caught the printmaking bug again.

That press there on the left... that is where the next project is coming out of. Of other interest to those of you in Beverly next weekend... the Blue Think Box will be open for the Art Walk thing.... 4-9 o Friday and 12-4 on Saturday! Come on by and meet a neat place.

Thanks all.... and until next time.....
