Words on Woodcuts

Martha Knox has featured my print Tiger and Sloth on her blog Words on Woodcuts:

Check it out.  She has an interesting take on the pieces she features.  8-]

Go back a couple days and see what Martha has to say about Annie Bissett's Sometimes I Am Married:

The Painter's Keys

A pleasant surprise.  8-]

I occasionally read an artist's blog, The Painter's Keys, by Robert Genn. I popped in the other day and discovered him talking about "unschooling," the concept developed by John Holt, an educational philosopher. My friend Kim introduced us to his newsletter and we became aficionados. So I fired off a comment to the blog and lo and behold, I'm the first of the accompanying comments. With a pic of my latest woodcut! I'm jazzed.

Thanx Guys 8-]

I love it when people decide to follow my blog (even if I am a sporadic blogger).  ;-]

New people always take me to such interesting places and I get to add kewl blogs to the ones I already follow.

Robo-Spam?

Does anyone know what to do about these strange comments I keep getting?  Are these robo-responses or something?  I run them thru http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ and usually get garbage back, so I don't think there's an actual person on the other end.

Any suggestions?

Hiatus

I'm on woodcut hiatus.  Not that I don't have any printing to do.  But I'm up to my ears in medieval poetry at the moment.  I edit a poetry collection that comes out twice a year and this is one of those times.  Verily I am busy.  ;- j

I should be able to get back to my woodcuts after next week.
