A friend gave me some of the Mississippi Records tapes, and I’ve been enjoying them very much while finally working on a new litho of my own.

The best way to start the new printmaking week is - obviously - with a heartfelt facepalm.

(Once I got past the initial hickup the stone printed very nice. The working title of the print was, ironically, “accidents must be embraced”).

Getting there - this one was pulled on a Finnish motorized press with a really vicious pull, causing a slight misregistration - will pull the final prints on the old Karl Krause, nicest and smoothest running press in the shop.

Really slacking with proper updates - too busy printing for Tuula Lehtinen (http://www.norske-grafikere.no/Pages.aspx?pageID=2993) and taking care of my own work (pictured above).
