My man, nows your CHANCE to make it circle of 5 and add ME or make it circle of 6 and add GOTTUSO TOO! Shoot, think of what you’ve been missing but what you will gain! (after all, I have a gold lame jacket, yes I do…)

Fun that you are looking in the direction of the style of woodcuts. I actually started there by taking a printmaking class. Then seeing your work I have been playing on combining the two.

Ron — hey – Kristen’s blog on style is great. I remember reading it when she first posted it – but I’m headed over to read it again.
I didn’t answer a question you asked on my blog the other day. The clear over the terra sig doesn’t change the color much at all — nothing like how clear makes underglazes pop. I’m still finding that Ron Meyers clear works best for me. I just tested another clear from Val Cushings book — VC5000. It’s an odd one — almost feels like you’ve poured water on a box of baking soda.
Your friends are lucky to have a chef for their game – lol!

I’ve been finding myself pulled towards developing more complex narratives on my surfaces too. Been wading through the old woodblocks as well. I love the deceptively simplistic subtractive approach of many masters of the time. Lately been looking at Mark Severin’s woodcuts ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Severin ). Quite a bit of his prints are rather exotic, all the more fun…
Guess it’s time to learn something new.

thanks for linky to Kristen’s thoughts!
I’m off to make a bunch of pizzas for the game myself.
much more of a cook than a fan.
