Artist books and looking for Answers

2010, artist book / Linda Germain / February 11, 2012

After a quick stop at the Wicked Big Cafe for a coffee with a shot of pumpkin, I was on my way to the Sage Art Gallery with this box of my books and I ran into a friend. I started talking about my art, my business and my need to set some priorities. She started flipping through my first book and told me to read it and then set my goals. Funny how the answers are right before me in my own work. Happy Art Making.

Gelatin Printing a double sided series today

2010, Uncategorized / Linda Germain / February 10, 2012

Today I finally got the gelatin out of the refrigerator and started playing with some prints. I was using 9″ x 12″ drawing paper and printing on both sides. I limited myself to blue, black and gold ink. I had a couple of “stamping items and a couple of stencils. I layered and layered and got one or two prints that are kind of fun. Happy Printing.

On the Studio Walls today

2010, mixed media printmaking / Linda Germain / February 9, 2012

I started layering some square boxes yesterday with the intent of doing a few bird prints. It is a challenge to print on a hard surface with another hard object. I am used to printing on paper with any kind of found object that comes my way. So I figured out that I could print with the hard object on to soft foam and then transfer the paint to the box from the foam. That is how I made the black circle marks above. Kind of an offset type process. Happy Printing!

Looking for Inspiring website Designs

2010, Uncategorized / Linda Germain / February 9, 2012

One thing I plan to do is revamp my website. The choices are so vast. I could research it for ever and not get too far. I am making a list of artist websites that inspire me. Some how I found Susy Pilgrim Waters. Oh I know I was looking at programs at Squam Art Workshops and she was teaching there. I think part of my attraction to her site is that I love her work too. But it is simple, clean and fast. If you have sites that you love leave the link in the comments. Happy Art Making.
