I have the Vandercook Uni booked for the day tomorrow at my studio, Pyramid Atlantic. I always look forward to a full 8 hours devoted to printing, even if I do look ridiculous to everyone else there as I sing and dance to my iPod. It’s a drive to get there, usually 45 minutes to an hour, which gives me plenty of time to plan my day, and mentally prepare.
A Vandercook Universal press, like the one I use at Pyramid for my larger prints.
There’s an uncertainty and anticipation each and every time that I enter the studio. I have my days when everything falls into place and I feel like I’m rocking it, and then there are days where nothing I do seems to work like it did in my head and I let my frustration get the best of me. After hauling in 3 loads of paper, type, dies, photopolymers, and ink, I always hope and pray that this is one of those days that’s going to go my way.
