Etching of a Cat - Peek a Boo!

Etchings of a cat on Zinc Plate. This set will be a series of prints of the same 5" x 7" zinc plate exploring techniques of etching and aquatint. It is now in its 3rd state, in preparation for a first use of aquatint. See link for more description on the process. http://bit.ly/e1SLGm

First Twitter account and my first tweet

I did many "First(s)" this week. Created my first blog account and a first twitter account. Squirrelreal is getting familiar now. My first tweet represents a desire for change yet I am afraid to face it. There are so many "what-ifs" and "what-will-I-not have" I have choose this path. Interesting how I thought the only path available is a full time MA study in Art History. This evening I actually discovered that there are many schools in NY that offer graduate programs in Art History on a part time basis. USA, or maybe just NY for now, is truly a land of possibilities... where one's dream may come true.

First blog after my nth birthday

It is beyond my imagination that I am now creating my first blog. This craziness started out when I tried to make a comment on one of my favourites sites: http://www.urbansketchers.com/. A blogger account is required in order to provide feedback on another's drawing. Oh well, as such, here we are. Maybe I can create a phantom character out of this new whim.
