So today I decided not to enter the NHIA show. I looked at alot of prints and tried to put into words what they are about. This process just stops me in my tracks. I want the whole process to be fun or at least enjoyable. I did have some fun finishing some ATC’s and creating a label for the back. Just getting into Twitter and Facebook and feeling a bit lost.Finishing prints and organizing thoughts Read More »
Rainy day here in New England. Good day to play with gelatin printmaking. I have worked out a good system for cropping down the prints to the artist trading card size. 
Keep it simple when the prints get small. I like to have range of values in my prints and with gelatin prints things can get muddy pretty quickly. Sometimes less is more. I am still playing with the ATC prints. This print was made with a block of wood and 3 pieces of thread on an old dictionary page. Enjoy!

I am trying to pick a couple of prints to submit to the Contemporary Art Biennial @ New Hampshire Institute of Art. It’s hard to choose and not possible to know what the juror will like. I guess I just have to take a chance. http://www.linda-germain.com/ Choosing Gelatin Prints for Contemporary Art Exhibit @ NHIA Read More »
Today I worked on top of some of the tiny gelatin prints that I started the other day. I was pleased with how a few of them developed. I played with a pre-cut stencil and I enjoyed the effect. I think it helps to keep the design simple when the prints are this small. I had a mat cut to the atc(artist trading card) size so that I could check how the composition is going. http://www.linda-germain.com/
