This afternoon my partner asked how long it would take to print them. I said, “If it goes well, 3 hours. But it’s a new press, new lino block and new ink so it could take 8 hours.03 May 2026 05:17 +0000at://did:plc:so6s7e5fl4pgurx2uhpyuubu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkwfqgc3p2ywhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeng-art.bsky.social/post/3mks2io4bf5pvAn Artist’s Insanity It starts with the concept- too ambitious (this lino block is 16”x20”) with little concept of how long it will take. If someone tries to reality check me, I get stubborn, ‘I’ll show you, faithless Debbie downer!’ Then it becomes an obsession.01 May 2026 11:45 +0000at://did:plc:so6s7e5fl4pgurx2uhpyuubu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mks2io4bf5pvhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeng-art.bsky.social/post/3mkatf2g6ddj3Sketching at the Des Moines Art Center yesterday; the bronze, “Water Woman” by Wangechi Mutu.

Transferred the design to the linoleum with pencil on transfer paper. Colored the lino with red ink I got on clearance. Found out why it was on clearance- it doesn’t dry!

Trying an out a new one on this study because my newest work was accepted to a show, which I’m excited about. But the artwork is a celebration of trans lives and I’m afraid it could be vandalized. The varnish would be a barrier layer and intensify the colors. 26 Mar 2026 03:45 +0000at://did:plc:so6s7e5fl4pgurx2uhpyuubu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhwov3zwidxwhttps://bsky.app/profile/jeng-art.bsky.social/post/3mgqhyemcmc5zQuick study to paint pine trees versus deciduous trees.
