I’m taking an intaglio printmaking class this semester. It is a five hour class on monday nights. It’s pretty rough.
The professor has us using water-based etching ink, trying to stay as non-toxic as possible. I don’t like it. Looking back at the intaglio prints I did in the intro class, the blacks are just so much richer with oil-based. And people are struggling getting really dark and rich blacks with the water-based stuff. Sure, it is a lot easier to clean up, but I don’t trust it. Not yet.
Oh goodness, I’ve become that person who only listens to music on vinyl, or only takes pictures with film.
Are there people who only watch movies on VHS?
I hate it when people are pretentious. But I know I can be a pretentious asshole sometimes. I think what pisses me off the most is when people mention that they don’t own a TV, like it makes them better than me. Good for you, assface. Have fun being hated by everyone who has a conversation with you.
