I'm leaving the area, and traveling to a new city. Things i will miss: 1-The Print Studio 2-The College Town 3-The Foolish Students i take care of in the print studio --Do not carve a wood block on your lap --Do not touch nitric acid --Do not touch cadmium red ink --As a final answer to one of the most frequently asked questions: Apply rosin/talc to your crayon, buff till its shiny, condition etch it with just gum for 5 minutes, WIPE IT OFF FAST before it dries until its not shiny anymore, add the indicated amount of nitric acid to a shot of gum and then use that to etch your stone for another 5 seconds, WIPE OFF FAST before it dries

I'm participating in this pretentious quote game. Yes artists have pretentious quotes, lots of them, so this will be delicious. First I'll start with my own quote "If it was too easy, you did something wrong". Some other pretentious quotes to enjoy: Art students draw what they see, full fledged artists make things to look at. -a smart @$$ APPLY CAKE AND IT WILL GET BETTER. -a friend, its easy to guess who Ceramics is totally the perfect medium for that whole baby-in-a-jar sort of thing. -friend We loose ourselves in dots.......................... Yayoi Kusama Clay is life, plaster is death, and bronze is rebirth. -Frederik Hart Take

Hi! You watched me a long, long time ago, and I haven't updated in a while, but I'd like to let you know that this is because a while ago, I moved to a new account. Please consider watching me there!

This account is :iconthestarfly:.

Thank you! :heart:
You are very talented, I love your sculptures, especially your Cephalosexual Hermaphrodite ( I have to admit, I copied the title :) ) Looking forward to see more :heart:
Pardon my stalking. I just find your flavor of prodigiousness intoxicating. :heart:
yay! u rock, u wish i could still make etchings.. just sketchings for now. :(
Hey, long time no talk. In case you were wondering, this is riceballclubdotorg's newer, more professional account.

Not that I've actually managed to post anything.
Of all of the people I favourited on my old account, you are one of the people whose art inspires me the most, which is why you're the first person I'm watching on the new account.

How have you been?
Hey there. Thanks for the comments. I love the astrology pieces and the photo of you with the alchemical symbols. Super cute.
Your sculptures are absolutely fantastic!

What I find particularly interesting is your creativity with thinking of the "gender" of the chemicals in your glazes when making each one of them, incredibly fascinating. It opens up a whole new world of meaning that could be possible in art...
