So, for those who don't know anything about me, I'm a 5th year Printmaking student at the Cleveland Institute of Art (we're a 5-year program.)
Lately, I've been working my butt off on my thesis (BFA.) The way my school does it, the BFA is the culmination of a whole year of work, it's up for one week and at some point during that week you have to stand up and defend yourself for an hour in front of faculty and peers.
My BFA is coming up very soon, hence my current state of agitation.
It will be awesome, though. Damnit.
So if you're in the Cleveland area, please come and check it out. The openhouse/reception is Friday May 9th from 6-9.

Deviantart= poopy heads that only allow subscribers to post images in their journals. Hence, you will need to go here to see my advertisement cards.

Drat them!

A million amazing people have been favouriting my work and commenting, even in all of the months I've barely been active here.

To everyone who has, know you are no unappreciated! It makes me feel wonderful and worthwhile as a creator, and as a participant in this community
I'll try to get to a few of you, and check out your work and reply to your comments, but it will be slow. I'm on spring "break" right now, but as I have so much to do to prepare for my BFA thesis, I stayed at school for it.
So much work to do!

I've put up just a fraction of what I've been working on lately in my gallery here. I've also been updating my blog pretty regularly, and I added an easy-to-use RSS feed so you'll know just how often.
Anyone who likes my work, please check it out. I'm probably pouring way more energy into it than it warrants, considering its rate of returns is so low, but it's really satisfying to have my own space to gush in.

The Gearwork Nest

But decided I couldn't. I like the attention. And my fiance (eimhin.deviantart.com) yells at me for being so inattentive.
Nevertheless, I'm trying to slowly shift emphasis over to my blog
([link]) and, eventually my website...when it's finally up. ([link])

In the meantime...I'm back! And I'll post some of my more recent work here.
One of the things that's always intimidated me about DeviantArt is the sheer volume of comments...
I'm by no means a break-away uber popular artist, but 100+ messages is still a lot to deal with.
I'll probably pick through them, read one here or there, and delete most of them. Sorry! I simply am too busy to respond to everything (being a senior in art college will do that to ya)! If you really, really want to talk to me, send me a note! I read all of those.

Addressing prints... In the past, a very few people have requested them from me. I think a few of my pieces were erroneously placed in the print category of Devart (I'll have to work on that) but if you want something of mine, contact me and we can work it out through Etsy ([link]).
I'd rather print them myself, on good quality paper (I'm a Printmaking major, and therefore a natural paper snob) with my signature and edition number, then let Devart or Cafepress slap it on whatever crap photopaper they want and send it off.

So yeah... interested? Some of the hand-pulled prints might even have originals for sale, you never know.
So contact me! I don't mind

Hey everyone! I know there hasn't been any new submissions for a while (not that that's unusual for me) but I have a good reason!
As far as I can discern, there are no scanners available to me here. So while I'm creating massive quantities of work, I can not offer anyone anything better than a crummy digital photograph of any of it. And that I won't inflict upon you.

So...there will have to be waiting. It's frustrating for me too. I generally like to get my work onto the computer as soon as possible, in case anything happens to the original, or I sell it.
But that's travel, I guess.

In other news: Eimhin is participating in several shows right now!
Check out his page for info on where/when/why and what it's all about!
(gotta plug his work every now and again. he's not just my fiance, he's a hugely talented artist)

For anyone who didn't catch it (or wasn't given the chance, due to my long absence....) I am spending the year away from my home college. Last semestre was passed very pleasantly and very close to home at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington DC.

This semstre is being spent in Salzburg, Austria. Some amazing adventures will be afoot here, my friends! I guarantee that!
Already I've been to Frankfurt, Trier, Maria Laach, Nuremberg, Rothenburg, Bacharach, Cologne and Heidelberg. Not to mention here, Salzburg. Which is absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend. Just not for the skiing. Not this year.
And don't ask them about the whole 'Sound of Music' thing. They hate that.

So hopefully much work done here.

In the meantime, belatedly, those in the DC area should check out the "Telling Tales" Print opening!

Eimhin and I are both in it!
Not to mention 33 other very talented print artists working in DC! It's going to be awesome!

The Opening is Feb 6th, 8 PM, Washington DC, Kathleen Ewing Gallery in Dupont Circle.

But the show itself will continue for several weeks after that date, in case this is not enough notice for you (which it probably is not).
