printmaker central.

may i introduce to you 2 ineffable artists, Dr. Milan Milojevic & Mr. Michael Kempson.
need i say more?

Milojevic is Head Printmaking of the Tasmanian School of Art. luckily enough i got to see my favourite work of his at my local gallery, the WPCC.

Kempson is Senior Lecturer; Printmaking Co-ordinator + Director of Cicada Press at the College of Fine Arts, UNSW - [& hopefully my lecturer]. his prints have that delicate technicality that i too, will one day master.


respect.

i'll be back in sydney for 2 days, as i am going to see the cofa annual for this year and catching up with my people <3

'Live Well. It is the Greatest Revenge.' - the Talmud

yay!!! just bought robert kaupelis' 30 year edition of 'experimental drawing' - my book of books.


i have been empowered by so much in the past few days. my dog's death has given me the 'push' - to steamroll who ever is trying to block my creative journey... 


i am my doing ultimate best to develop lots of ideas for my prints next year. excited much about being printmaking major? i have not only inspired by art especially performance but have started to look to the other areas - fashion, architecture, philosophical literature, music, dance, technology and nature.


i am also planning on doing a quick drawing course at the National Art School [NAS] another avenue for ideas! i am super ahead too as i have already started looking at the general education courses i can do and have also narrowed down three schools for my second year professional practice.

6000 years ago the totem of defeated Chinese tribes would be added to a totem for the supreme tribe. the most powerful totem became the supernatural creature. from the boar's head, deer's antlers, the snake's body, ears of an ox, whiskers of a goat, the claws of an eagle & the scales of a fish - the Dragon was born.
