Description I'm not sure if it's a male or a female really, but either way I think it's a mouse.

This is the best of the monotypes I did in printmaking; it is, perhaps, the -only- good monotype I produced.

probably I don't even understand the job I'm look at, but it conquered me. "truth is in black and white" read this somewhere today... makes sense to me. your forest sure got some spirit, but this I can see.

You're doing printmaking? Awesome! I used to do printmaking in high school...etchings, mostly. I really liked it.

I actually did a series of prints for my AP Art portfolio. Didn't do so hot with it, though. Ah well. Such is life.

DID printmaking, past-tense, really. I just didn't fell like putting "last semester" on all the descriptions and having to go back and change them later.

I really, really, REALLY hated printmaking. I got a D+ in the class after desperately working my ass off all semester, and she only gave me that, the lowest possible passing grade, out of pity. I was a walking disaster. Nothing worked for me. No matter how dilligent I was, I would destroy supplies and wreck my pieces. I was embarrassingly slow, and since I'm timid I wound up letting the more aggressive girls in the class use the limited classroom space and better materials before me most of the time. And I realy just didn't LIKE it! It's like the art version of chemistry, there's so many really precise rules and processes and chemicals and things you have to constantly remember and time and multitask for. If there's a hell, and I wind up there...

Oh wow, I'm sorry. That sounds like it totally sucks. We didn't have the capacity to do lithographs and other stuff that requires a lot of precise chemistry...we mainly just did etchings, which were pretty straightforward -- scratch in the metal, rub ink on it, and run it through a press. It's been a while.

At least you got through it and can move on to things that are more fun :/
