That City of the world Print Party sure looks like a work out. Glad
our Mayor, Maria, has a lot of stamina. The book is a wonderful idea,
thanks. Could I borrow a little energy from you guys to help me finish
up my projects? Maria do you take energizer bunny pills?

Since there is no official collaboration agreement, each contributor retains the copyright of their individual contribution. The overall design is under the copyright of its creator, that being me.
As the purpose of the collaboration is simply to re-distribute the collaboration back to its owners, there should be no conflict. If anyone, contributor or not, should wish to reprint, redesign, alter, merchandise, redistribute in any form or create any derivative work, they would first have to seek permission from the copyright owners, beginning with the Mayor of the City, that being me again.
As the project was conceived and created in the USA, this country's copyright laws apply.
I am planning to self-publish the colophon as a book, which will be available to the general public for purchase. I don't expect to make any money from it as it is being published for convenience of printing and to help with the costs of this and future projects, should there be any overage.
The finances of the project are published on the web page in order to maintain transparency. I fail to add the cost of my recent trip to the Printing Party, the cost that fellow printmakers incurred in gathering, renting of the studio (I believe secretly paid by my hostesses), and so on. And of course everyone's time is freely given to the collaboration.
Good point though and I will add the copyright information on the website as soon as the print is uploaded there.
Hope this helps,
Maria

Energy comes from the sun, I walk briskly everyday and then a shorter stroll
through my desert garden to bring the feral cats out and enjoy the desert
spring. The cats think I'm an ugly hairless two-legged surrogate mother and
oblige by rubbing against my legs now but don't try to pet them (ouch!).
Before that dissipates, I go to the studio where energy lives everywhere,
just have to lift the right piece of paper or touch a pencil or a knife and
energy starts swirling about. Light lunch, short nap if needed, else just
rub another cat for a while, a tame one that purrs.
With that still in mind, another trip to the studio, or errands, or sending
some stranger one or three of my prints, I just keep moving. Then I make a
list of what may or may not happen tomorrow and the cycle repeats.
The trip to Oregon was draining but I resided in a palace in the woods,
surrounded by cool Northwest beauty and warm friendship. You could feel
energy everywhere. The studio work was easy, there's energy in every working
space, just have to get cranking and it flows freely. Friends, food, walks,
laughs, music, all have energy in them. The drive back, draining again, but
with the endless desert outside, calm and cool and full of spring.
My fear is finishing; after a big project like this the energy drains so
fast that I have to start something else to avoid the doldrums of daily life
without art. I have blocks waiting, a list longer than my arms can span, new
ideas already swirling.and the music and the desert spring and the sun.
There, now you know,

Subject: [Baren 45342] question about storing prints
Send Message: To this poster
Dear Baren People,
Could you please advise me if I'm doing the right thing to store my prints. I do not own or have space for a flat file.
There are three categories of prints I need to store:
1. Prints that I just received, with great delight, from an exchange, which were printed with either water and oil-based inks. I started storing them in "Nonstick polypropylene top-loading sheet protectors" that allow me to put them in a looseleaf binder. I store prints on transparent paper singly and the prints on opaque paper back to back. Is this OK? I get the sheet protectors from an office supply house. I plan to store these vertically with the notebook closed so that the pages don't bend.
2. Prints I bought in Japan, some old, some on very thin paper. I store these in a "Presentation Book" from an art supply house. The book has polypropylene top loading holders and acid free black paper inside each one. The prints go on either side of the black paper. I store this flat.
3. My prints, all watercolor or sumi, mostly on thick paper. I'm thinking of putting them in the sheet protectors, except if the stack is fatter than a few mm, then put them in a manila envelope. For the ones in sheet protectors, store vertically in a looseleaf notebook and those in an envelope store flat.
Does this sound sensible?
Thank you,
Larry

Four of the blocks carrying gradations for the fans are now done, and here's the next one - orange on three of them:  |

The latest few tasks are now completed. First a re-count of the piles, onced aired out. Amazing what a bit of cobalt drier and 6% humidity will do to ink! Dry as a bone by the time I got home, although the studio windows remained opened for a couple of days. Will have to remember next time to take a click counter, seems we were off on every block! But no fear, plenty for everyone. Make a mental note that there are (thank goodness!) 101 sheets of paper in each 100-pack of Stonehenge...or else someone at the paper shop also needs a counter!   |
