I was able to complete two more blocks this week and have just five more to go. These specific images were printed very well and I am excited about their results! The wood seems to be lending itself perfectly to the darker images and they are coming out very mysterious. I am very happy in the way the blocks are coming out and I hopefully will have printed all of them by next weekend. I am at a bit of a standstill right now because the one place where I can purchase photolithography plates is all out. I am waiting for a shipment to come in next Tuesday and will start cranking them out as soon as they arrive.
For now I plan to explore the ways in which I can hang my images on the wall in the gallery by either drilling a hole in the back for a nail or carving a horizontal line. I wanted to wait to figure out these issues until the images were completely printed because if I were to mess up I could always use the back of the block.
This coming weekend I will also work on a small website for my IP Thesis and I will definitely be attending Seth’s explanation of how to create a website next week. I am feeling the pressure to get these blocks done so not having any more plates is making me a little antsy, but maybe it is a good idea to take a step back for a while and work on other issues I may have later.
One side note, I originally planned on having 13 blocks in my show, but some images will probably not make it into the final presentation. Therefore, I am also going to think more about the layout and the possible number of blocks that will be displayed.
