Yay! The printer arrived yesterday and I've been busy busy busy getting it all set for massive printage. In between working massive 8-9 hour work shifts and getting home at around 10pm every night, I've been tweaking and calibrating and all that not-so-fun printer stuff that just always unfortunately needs to be done.But I'm diggin' it. And man, this thing is a BEAST! I knew it would be big, as a large-format printer, but whoa. Kinda took me by surprise. Mr. Printer is well over 2 feet long, and while doing computer and low-key printwork on the living room floor has served me fine in the past, I must say that a super large desk is lookin' mighty fine right about now. A trip to Target is in my near future, I do believe...
It's amazing though. The prints on the velvet paper are absolutely breathtaking (and try as I might, I just cannot see a dot pattern--how cool is that?).
On the flip side, during all my tweaking with colors and format adjustments, I made a few prints that, while being lovely on their own, just don't quite meet my extremely high standards for sale. Would anyone be interested in a drawing for a free test print? No charge (except $3 for shipping within the US to cover the envelope and postage--I'll send you a Paypal invoice for it). Their faults are quite minor (a little too red in spots, or a bit too orange on one, etc) and I really don't want to throw 'em out (what a waste of lovely velvet paper and ink). And the prints I'll be selling in ye old shop will be anywhere from $15-$35, so you can't go wrong with a free test print. Anywho, let me know if interested and by Friday I'll go ahead and draw a few names from a hat for free printage.
And, before I go do more print tests, here's a couple views at the new red shoes I got today! I'm so excited about these--been eyeing 'em for a month now. A bit pricey, but I rarely splurge over $50 for a pair of shoes, so I figured I was due.
Take it easy, folks!

The prints look great, bet they look even more awesome up close!
I love them! And would be interested in a print "second"
Thanks guys! You're on the list. :)
love the shoes. :) I only took three pairs with me here, continuing my long stretch of shoe famine. I ask you, how does someone with over fifty pairs of shoes get into situations where only three pairs of shoes can be taken along?!
Lovely lovely! Yeay for prints!! You've got me itching for a new printer now! :) Thank You for alerting me about my little Rapunzel on Etsy's homepage! So sweet of you!
Marjorie, of course! I always get excited seeing work I recognize being featured. :)
Sweet! Sign me up for some printage action!
Awesome-mundo, my friend. You're on the print list! :)
