Currently Watching: Man, I Need a New Things Post-Olympics
What are you watching this week (and art-ing about)
Behind the Page
How can the Olympics be over? I was having the best time waking up in the morning, coming out to my couch and flipping on the Gold Zone. There were so many really cool sports that I never would have thought to watch otherwise — women’s rugby, sport climbing, skateboarding, and so many others.
It was definitely the best at home spectator experience I’ve ever had with the Olympic Games (the Beijing games were amazing story-wise) and I can’t wait for LA 2028.
Technique of the Day
On Friday, I grabbed this stamp to play with. I was going to use it on one of my new gel prints. But I couldn’t find my Staz-On permanent ink, and thought I would smudge the heck out of it (which I totally would have).
Over the weekend, I was cleaning up my living room and found my ink in a very stupid place — like just, why did I put it on the shelf under the table? What person was I when I made that decision? So, I grabbed it and put it in the middle of my desk, so that I would remember to use it for today’s page.
Since Monday is always a Currently List, I used the stamp to create little frames for each of my currentlys.
