nice rack
5 hours: 68 prints today. I might have printed more if we had another one of these racks, but I pretty much filled this one (the last print had to be hung up in my studio to dry; no room!).
Working intuitively rather than pre-planning prints makes for self-doubt at every step of the process, and I'm not as excited about most of these prints right now as I was when I put the last layer on them. In general I'm not really feeling as confident in this work as I was, oh, say last week. It's not due to a bad critique or anything anyone said or did, or even the fact that my review is a week and a half away, just that pendulum that constantly swings between raging ego and crushing self-doubt, picking up speed in the other direction again. I'll be okay, I just need to crank out this work and move forward on some of the large, labour-intensive projects I'm in the middle of. And fast.

Well, you stole my obvious comment with your title, so what else can I say?
'cept THAT'S A LOTTA WORK!

Hey, this means that when your review comes you'll be on the raging ego swing of things!

Regardless of this swing into self doubt, I can't wait to see what you come up with next :-)
Cheerio
