How can it be another new year already???

No, seriously though.  2016, not so much just around the corner as reaching out to shake hands, and I don't feel I've really managed to get to know this last year.  Or the one before or the one before that, if I'm honest.  Maybe that's the thing with years - they're more passing acquaintances than close friends.  Perhaps it's better that way.

I've given up on the whole Resolutions thing - they're mostly gone before the end of the first day, and telling people or not doesn't make the slightest odds as to whether or not I keep to them.  I don't.  Instead I'll spend the first little while figuring out exactly what printmaking and book arts I think I want to achieve in the next twelve months, in quite some detail, and then I'll go for it.  It'll change, of course it will, it always does, but if I can at least stick with the 'go for it' bit, something might come out of it.  I feel like I've had a fallow making stretch since forever - now seems an awfully good time to break it.  Perhaps, a year from now, I'll be saying something other than 'So what did I do with that one?'  That would, actually, be an achievement in itself.

    Hi there

    I make prints and book arts, though nowhere near as often as I'd like - no good reason, just an inability to get on with things.  I occasionally go on about landscape (with which I am mildly obsessed) and various of its elements, and I like to pass comment on exhibitions I visit.
