Nothing satisfies me more then making something I had no idea how to do yesterday. Im very lucky. I definitely learn and work slower then others, but I use my time well. Im not afraid to ask questions and certainly not afraid to ask for help. I try my best to reciprocate what Im given by so many amazing people. If it weren’t for them I couldn’t do ANY of this. All I want to do is create a positive example that proves “Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes a creative force”
I cant wait till the next stage where the frame work comes into shape.
Ill try to keep posting :)
“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.”
Got my massive Take up Bearings… getting closer.
I love that I never understood math until I started actually needing it.
Making fractions in to decimals then making math into my bitch…
(Pardon my left over math class angst)
Tomorrow Ill map out for the Boring hole placement. How Drilling.
“Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
This has been my mantra for the last two years…
I just started transferring Stephen Booth’s hand made font for the book Im working on. (Dont worry I’ve flipped the image)
Im dedicating the book to my grandmother. The text is from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “A Psalm of Life” I first heard it read at my great aunt’s funeral. You should really check it out.
Made a Wide V out of Corrugated Plastic along with a Book shelf to hold my work for the PMA Staff Show at the end of this month.
Game on Federal Government.
Did I Mention Tommy and I are building our own massive etching press? haha. (5ft long roller!)
Super productive day. More of a learning and discovery day. Its been hard finding the right minds and right suppliers for our massive etching press. However we are getting really close to it taking physical form!!! Well part of it…
In my experience, some of the best moments in life are when hard work and effort reveal the path that needs to be taken to achieving your dream. Be it a piece of art, a destination of travel or even an education. I have never been offset (pun intended) by how long or hard the road looks. Ill happily travel it. What eles am I going to do with my life?
My name is Christopher Terrell, and today I am 26. :)
I kinda enjoy the yellow lighting of working in my bed room late at night. My friend Steve in Baltimore is doing the font work for me which ill carve print and bind into these bad boys. For now im just cutting my prints down and folding and gluing where I can.
God books are a lot of work.
Ps I have decided that im going to make a more affordable zine version for anyone interested in buying a comic but cant afford one of the limited edition 7! Im excited to make both!
There is always time for printmaking,
My first real day off since the 8th!
The responsibilities… The call backs.
Happy Valentines day with Peanut Butter filled Millennium Falcons!
My shoulders and arms are still sore :)
