Working on the new podcast at the moment which entails playing music and thinking - hey, that´s kinda good, i think i will add that to the list - tough process.
Couple of images I thought I might share - starting to get more results with this primitive printing technique. And, as I like, the results are almost immediate but look even better when scanned and digitized.
Bringing a folder to school tomorrow to do a load more scans since they have a larger scanning bed - will see what results I get from that.
THese images are a mix of printing from glass and direct spray with stencils (though the stencils are extremely basic). I should also mention that they are all scans from the same image - a pain in the ass, perhaps, but sometimes I like the ability to pick and choose which part of a produced image to use. Since many of my images develop in real time, that is, there is no preconceived idea of an end result, but more the image grows in a controlled environment, many times there are parts of an image that feel/seem unfulfilled - this is partly down to my own technical proficiency, but also since I as the creator have minimal idea of where the image is taking me - sometimes I finish satisfied, other times, not. Being able to crop in PS means that I can keep the image as a whole in paper format for further use. No, these will not be the prints going up in a gallery - I have higher standards than that - contrary to what you have heard :-)

Anyway, back to the images - There is also a touch of charcoal, just to emphasize some of the edges and some other materials which I cant remember. Will have a play with the these image in PS and see what comes out the binary treadmill.
