Shit, so apparently I update every day now... 
Sooo I stayed up all night and all in all in the past 24 hours (exactly) I have spetn 12 hours in the printmaking studio. And I am still filthy because when I left I was running late to class and currently I have no excuse for not having washed myself off.
But I finally finished my Feronia series!:
They came out okay, not great. Out of a series of 6 that's the only one that really ended up lined up right. And because I was working on it while/after staying up all night, I was retarded and messed up the background, which would have been much cooler had I not. Take my word for it. Even more retarded, and not entirely unrelated to it being 6 in the morning after no sleep, I rolled over the tip of my index finger (same poor finger that got stabbed earlier
) with the printing press which exerts god knows how many pounds of pressure per square inch and it was supremely painful and when I pulled it out it was all flat like in a cartoon, but it eventually regained it's voluptuous shape and my fingernail hasn't turned purple and fallen off yet so I guess I'll be okay
Now I'm working on a print of Squeak:
I really hope it comes out well, the first color looks great, but I have a feeling if I had trouble lining up the Feronia ones which were only 2 colors, I'm going to have a lot of trouble with this one which is going to be more like 6 or 7. Oh well, it's really fun regardless. My woodblock print is /not/ coming out well. I definitley prefer linoleum, a lot.
[Edited to add:]
Dude! I just noticed Feronia looks like Eva Amurri like 50 times more than I do!! It's quite a likeness.
