losParanoyas Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 My friend, Jay Ryan, does some screen printing workshops at his studio in Chicago (the bird machine) and my wife and i went up last year for a weekend visit. We were lucky enough to get to do it on the same weekend when he had a show opening at Rotofugi of his paintings. Also, Aaron Horkey was Jay's special guest at the workshop and the print we made was a collab between the two of them. It was very awesome to be able to learn the screen printing process, watch Jay and Aaron cut rubylith, and take turns with 8 other workshop students manually pulling the screens and working a semi-automatic press. The print is titled, "Ouroburos". sophistre and SStu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fala Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Love Jay Ryan's work @losParanoyas!!! Great show posters, for sure. Awesome things I've been up to --- um, not much! Teaching an herbal class later in the month, which should be fun. losParanoyas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophistre Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I am training to climb Mt. Rainier at the end of August. It's a three day climb. It's kicking my ass! It is also severely cutting into my forum-browsing and tattoo-getting time, the latter of which is probably the saddest thing.

jen7 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hooray for new jobs! I just completed and submitted a 100 page manuscript to my publisher for inclusion as a chapter into the next (30th!) edition of a very famous engineering book. Publication later this year. I will be the very first woman contributor in the book's 100+ year history. sophistre, pidjones, bongsau and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevet Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have been busy trying to stay on top of opening a new shop plus building a small fence to keep the dogs from ruining our back yard. I have never built a fence before so kudos to anyone who has or does this for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Bee Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 @jen7 I narrowly missed the salt water tank rabbit hole. We had tropicals for a while andI seriously considered going the salt water route. They are spectacular to see, when done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathB4Decaf Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have a 2 year old high energy german shepherd and while I'm no dog trainer (not even close), I've been teaching her some fun things to keep life interesting in -25 weather. Also to help relieve my guilt over long work weeks, ha. We hike daily in the middle of nowhere. All my previous dogs have been rottweilers, so all new fun over here. We've been working on scent detection, hiding something the day before and retrieving it the next day on our hike, tracking followed by sit-stay, and random fun. All our hikes are mostly off leash, so obviously before we ventured to the harder stuff we had her basic off leash commands down (come, sit, heel, watch, stay, leave it, etc). Totally neat to see her react to scent and tracking in various temperatures and weather conditions. It's all I mostly post on IG, so apologies to anyone who started following me expecting tattoo related stuff. My lunatic.

Dan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 so today on Kauai we participated in the dog field trip program with the Kauai Humane Society today,they let you take a dog out for the day with an "adopt me" vest on and they supply leash/water/water bowl/treats/potty bags and we took her on a hike and to the beach all day today,her name is Jillian,what a cutie. we had a totally great day with her. It gives the dog a chance to get out of the kennel for the day and it exposes them to more potential adopters.
