It was great to revisit the process of a print being made. <br /><br />He worked on an intaglio print. Explaining how to use the equipment...his technique and thoughts, feelings when making a print. I was really jazzed! It inspired me to take a print class this summer. <br /><br />Tom's work has always been a favorite of mine. His lines...his definition of marks and minimalist pieces are exquisite. He uses restraint in his work that hold you in the most thoughtful contemplation. You can see more of his paintings and prints at Safi Studio in the Marshall Building down in the Third Ward, Milwaukee and on his website http://www.thomaskovacich.com/pamela andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712845738406564387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730373651127594694.post-28360125760103923212011-03-17T13:54:00.000-07:002011-03-17T13:56:58.891-07:00That's something.Someone said something to me today that triggered a happy memory. I was 4 or 5 yrs old. I was pouting and said I was "bored". My mom looked at me and rattled off 8-10 things I could do...and told me that I should never say I was bored again...because there was something, ALWAYS something that I could find to do...I can honestly say I have never been bored again in my life. That's something.pamela andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712845738406564387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730373651127594694.post-34324667067200642592011-03-12T06:18:00.001-08:002011-03-13T17:24:52.846-07:00Painting Shoes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VGI0VjodDfo/TXuDy0CoD1I/AAAAAAAAACQ/bG0Pt-o2lr4/s1600/007.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VGI0VjodDfo/TXuDy0CoD1I/AAAAAAAAACQ/bG0Pt-o2lr4/s320/007.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583201072042217298" /></a><br />Steven claims I am a messy painter. Is there such a thing? I think I am pretty neat for an abstract painter. My painting shoes attest to this ;) I am waiting for them to be more colorful!! I feel like I have had to be somewhat neater painting in my home studio. Started painting in my new studio this week so it will be fun to see if I cut loose. Come and visit me at the Plaid Tuba at 120 N. Broadway, Milwaukee.

although i did enjoy being around steven and andrew for the social aspects!! finally redid my very own room to call my own. it's wonderful to be able to walk into this new space. i feel validated. i still wish i had a larger space. i keep putting my dreams into the universe. i believe that if you dream it will come.pamela andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17712845738406564387noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730373651127594694.post-34578089688748963262011-02-28T15:55:00.000-08:002011-02-28T15:58:46.960-08:00one of my earliest memories is coloring for hours on the back stoop of our house. i would sit there for hours. i always loved getting a new box of crayons...and to this day when i smell crayons it takes me right back to those moments. the trees rustling over head...hot summer days, one of the only things that could move me was the sound of the ice cream truck!
