sad happy

I've known for a while that my record player was going, but when the needle went... man it made me sad. I just bought a new record and can't even listen to it. $3.99 at End of an Ear on South 1st.

For 19.95 plush shipping and handling, I am happy again.

Also, I found some old school ZZ Top in someone's trash pile. woot

It's been a while

So this is the progression of my Cactus Cafe project. It all began when I had to choose something "architectural" to paint for my watercolor class, followed by the desire to do a study of the subject in preparation as a print. Now I know one person in particular who has been waiting for me to photograph the final outcome of the watercolor for a long time... so here it is.
1. copper plate etched and aquatinted
2. first pull without aquatint
3. Final product
4. watercolor
