Delight! Yay! Cheer!

I cannot believe it's taken me so long to blog about this, but I've been pretty busy working all week, and in general holing up into my home sweet home (aka hermiting... and loving it).
I'm way behind on photos, but luckily my awesome documenter friend Kevin isn't, because he posted a great set of photos he snapped from last Sunday when we broke out my Print Gocco for the first time!
What's a GOCCO you ask? It's basically a way to do photo emulsion screenprinting right in your own home! For more information, visit Gocco.com, and most importantly, visit SaveGocco.com, as right now they've stopped manufacturing the main units until they can find a new investor. Honestly I think (hope) someone will develop something similar in the next few years, as it's just too awesome of a little contraption to not keep producing!
Anyway... after a super fun day of breakfast @ Universal Cafe, hitting SFZineFest, coming back here & getting the artwork ready, going to make copies (need copies for the carbon to transfer to the screens) and a yummy impromptu sushi dinner, we came back here & busted into my Gocco for the first time.
Check out the full photo set here, or if you do nothing else, click on the photo above & see the hilarious animated gif Kevin did of me (more specifically, the expressions on my face) as I exposed my first screen. It makes me laugh every time. I guess I was pretty nervous about messing it up. haha!
