surprisingly enough~

This is an old bedsheet that I plan on turning into a curtain for my dining room. We are hopefully getting paint for same room tomorrow and painting it soon, then building shelves/cabinets to hold our books/movies/junk. Right now we just have a series of short bookshelves full of DVDs lining the wall, and it looks pretty awful.

I caved and bought a newer, bigger Gocco, so I spent some quality time with my old one. :P This thing is covered in ink and tape.

I’ve been making my own screens and they accidentally turned out like an eighth of an inch too short, thus all the tape.

Fucking around with Speedball block printing ink with the Gocco because some random forum post from 15 years ago said it works sometimes. And it does. Only some colors work, and they work slightly better if you add a drop of water or a little oil paint. The magenta and orange work.

The dark purple doesn’t work very well, and the dark yellow doesn’t work at all.

Mix of magenta and orange speedball inks (scraped it off of two other masters and blobbed it on here lol), turned out really nice.

Tried to make my own stationery, lines got all weird and blown-out. Tried the Speedball ink and Riso ink. Not sure if this happened because I forgot the blue filter when I made the master?

These turned out really nice, so I made way too many of them. Black Riso ink.

Marker version of the same. Got a set of cheapo pastel markers that are super juicy and blend more easily than Copic. :P

I am tired. Last weekend sucked and the rest of this week will, too, so here is a low-effort post featuring a bunch of dumb stuff I made in my journal when I was at work Saturday!!!
