It's been a long time

Ja. It's been a long time. I have been doing lots of printmaking and exhibitions, one at KKV göteborg during Majornas Konstrunda, one at Grafiska Sällskapet in Stockholm and one at Galleri Majnabbe in Göteborg. Good times! And more good times to come, because today i learned that i got accepted for a summer course in contemporary printmaking at Valand Konsthögskola here in Göteborg.

There's a boatload of images i have to post here but in order to not put it off any longer i will start with the newest and add older ones later on. I know, life can be confusing like that...

Today's images are from a poster-project, i decided to make postcards with quotes from people i like & know. Well, actually i first decided not to make any kind of poster-related thing but of course the day before the deadline i got this Great Idea which kept me in the printing studio for 12 hours. Always the last-minute over-achiever, me.

The technique i used is photo-polymer plate, which is truly the shiznit because it's the only way (for me at least) to convert photographic material into blockprinting clichés. And you can make stamps with it. Lots and lots of stamps. I'm sooooo hysterically happy about this stuff! (except for the price, damn!)

"It's manly to marinate"

" One should never trust a sponge", referring to the
doubtful cleanness of sponges laying around in our
printing workshop. 

"We're not dealing with dying walruses here"
My teachers comment on me saying something about how
printmaking is assumed dead by some.

That's it for today good people!
