Orders…
I went down into storage and brought up more work that had been ordered in the last two weeks and moved them into my storage racks. I rearranged some of the acquisitions; we received many last week and the shelves are full. When I get a chance, I will have to start hanging some on [...]

Steps backward
[July 16, 2008] I brought in my digital prints and compared them to the orginals. They all look good, but in digitizing, the colors have changed slightly: all the prints are slightly more saturated and have a higher contrast than their sources. I supposed these are “better:” I think of those histogram curves on my [...]

Digital
[July 14, 2008] I spent the morning putting together all the sections of Ruscha’s “All the Buildings on the Sunset Strip.” There were 38 different scans to put together, for 9 sections that wll be glued together to make a 304″ inch book, unfolded. I have been thinking about how to get this printed for [...]

Finishes and starts
[July 11, 2008] I spent the morning finishing the Micahel Mazur painting. I worked with some of the paint and a dry brush to mimic pastel (the original is a pastel drawing), worked on the grass and the sandy area in front. Last, I painted in the wires coming off the telephone pole. There will [...]

Patience
[July 9, 2008] I arrived hoping to finish the Mazur painting today. First, I put together the stretcher bars, stretched and gessoed the canvas for the George Dugan self-portrait. I helped Andrew move selections from “Open Curating” down to storage, and bring more work up. A slight procrastination. We talked about the David Ahlsted paintings; [...]

Painting
[July 2, 2008] I decided to stay with painting, because I’ve found it takes time to get into its rhythm. I worked on the Lucas painting, but became frustrated with it–I had one of the moments when I wonder why I am doing this. The other time I sometimes think this is when I look [...]

Time to catch up on orders
I was once again pulled away from my copy work for another project, so I had missed over a week of work. When I arrived today, three new donations were waiting for me. I tallied my copy orders, and I have 21. I hope I can catch up over this week. Andrew and I went [...]

Back to work
I missed a week of work because of another project I’m working on; it is good to be back. Last week, Lorraine Berry brought this paper bowl, to exchange for an etching of Goya (as an etching). I spent the morning organizing my orders, and then preparing work. I cut down paper for both the [...]

Working on Goya
[June 4, 2008] I was a bit tired today, and had hoped to finish my work on the Goya print and the Kollwitz print. At first, I thought my work on the Goya was going well, but as I continued with it, I became less satisfied. As I worked on it, parts of this image [...]

The Studio as a Gallery (or vice versa)
Thanks to Tara, the “installation” is finished; I now have a studio within a showroom (gallery). Brian made these shelves, which is where my copies will be displayed before they are traded. The announcement cards and my order forms came back from the printer, and Andrew got them out. Joe, the photographer from the Cortland [...]
