So…
I had planned to write tonight about my first experience with my new Gocco screen printing system. Well, I guess I can still write about it, but it will be seriously lacking in Gocco content due to the fact that I didn’t use it very much at all.
I spent an extra hour at work today designing 5 sweet little notecards that I planned to screenprint in pink and black. They were pretty good, if I do say so myself. I’d buy them. Anyways, I did it at work so I could take advantage of the carbon based laser printer since you can only make Gocco screen masters with a carbon original. I came home, went across the street and helped set up Em and Colin’s new sound system (they think I am a wiz at sound equipment since my Dad was a DJ, so don’t tell them that I pressed a random button on the amp when they were out of the room and it started working magically), then settled down in the dungeon studio for a night of print-making magic.
The instruction manual was less than useless. Well, that’s not true, I am sure it is VERY helpful, just not to me, since it is Japanese and I opted to learn “ou est Paul, Paul est dans la bibliotheque” instead of the Asian literary arts. I guess I should have gone with Japanese in highschool, thinking back. I mean, the french I know will only help me if I happen to met a guy named Paul, and then lose him in a library. (more…)
