I just wanted to drop in and proudly note that I spent a good few hours working in the studio tonight, and it felt GREAT. I made a VERY SMALL amount of progress on the painting I'm working on, but I'm still excited about it, which is good. It's weird working in acrylic again, but it's reassuringly fast--if I wanted to go back out there now, an hour later, it would be plenty dry enough to work on, though I have every intention of putting on comfy clothes, brushing my teeth, and lying in bed with a good book (Doomsday Book by Connie Willis) before falling asleep.

I write. I create. I put some of that here. Read at your own risk. If there were an ampersand code for a little skull-and-crossbones, I'd totally be using it right now.
The term "aqua fortis" was the alchemical nomenclature for nitric acid, a necessary component in etching onto zinc plates for intaglio printmaking. I now use copper plates and ferric chloride almost exclusively, as they are much less toxic, but I still like the sound of "aqua fortis."

Well, yay! Although I have to point out your choice of reading material isn't exactly ...comforting. A good, but dark book.
