As I mentioned yesterday, I'm busy prepping for my June classes at The Ink Pad in NYC. Part of having a clear artistic voice is having a distinctive library of personal images. “Personal images” sounds rather fancy, but all it really connotes is a collection of images or shapes or marks that you enjoy using over and over. My Marking Making class is all about exploring your personal mark making vocabulary. Part of class is making paper stencils, like these:

I love how they look all mashed together like that. Of course — I'm a more-is-more kind of girl! How about you?
Thanks for stopping by!
