...Really enjoy making these...very spontaneous and graphic and it's a social event when working in another artists studio space...reminds me of that early collaboration in art school...casual - not pressured...that makes for an atmosphere of creativity. It has been a long winter living inside of my own head in my studio space, making art around professional peers has been a mentally healthy and productive experience.
