You're Invited!

I just sent out my prints with an edition of 13, so exciting! I'm doing the annual print exchange with the Iowa Print Society again. Last year I did a Ron Jeremy for the "X" theme. This year's theme is the Apocalypse, and I created a text only party invitation because my graphic design side of me wants to play since I don't have any design classes right now.

Hot off the press! Etching on BFK 4x6.
So my muse for this project was this post secret I found a year ago. That is how I would like to spend my last couple of hours.
Post Secrets
Ouch! Printmaking is dangerous!
When I'm in Printmaking class, I'm exposed to all these acids. While working on silkscreen, I got a chemical burn from Autohazing, it contains the chemical Potassium Hydroxide, short for LYE. I pretty much went through what the guy in the video went through.... for like 3 seconds. God I'm tough!

I'm SO excited!! This is my first print ever from my Printmaking class. My class is taking part of the Print Exchange in Iowa State University. We have to make 13 prints (4"x6") and send it, and in return we get 12 random prints from other students. COOL HUH? The theme is X, so can you guess who the man in my print is?

OMG! The University Scholarship was just due. I just turned in everything yesterday, in the rain. I hope I get it; cross your fingers for me.
