Studio space for me! Part 1

At the end of December 2014, I acquainted a lady who has a studio in an artists co-op building.

Through her, I found there was an opening and I talked to admin of the group and luckily got this space. It's 16' x16' with 10-12 'high high ceiling!, 2 big windows facing to east side.

I moved in with minimum equipment first.

It's a nice size studio, and I though it would be great to make it half room for natural light setting, and the other for control light setting. I masked one window, but still full of light. 

So I had to plan a bit more to make it work (continues...).

Start of the new year 2015

A couple of days before the end of 2014, my husband asked me to prepare a some greeting cards. So I had to generate something new yearly very quickly. I had a linocut mat, so I tried. 

Year of the ram. The writing said step by step into the new year.

It's been a long long time to do "版画 (han ga)". I used to do every year for new year's greeting when I was a little until I started to draw Anime characters for that.

Anyway, wish you have a wonderful year.
