When I did, I hand-printed these letters again to practice registration (aligning the paper to the plate properly) because I figured that would be a …
The first four months of 2017 were all over the place. I was pretty tired being both graduate student and part-time faculty. It still seems a bit funny to me that this is what I've ended up doing. Teaching Japanese while studying Art Education. I was trying to get away from gray areas and here …
