So, as I might have mentioned in an earlier post, I'm apprenticing to a woodblock printer in Ogunquit Maine. His name is Don Gorvett, and he does an outstanding job at most prints. He is a reduction woodcut printer, so each edition is a alone of a kind and can never be reproduced. (A reduction print is the same a suicide print, you have one chance, and one chance only) Each of his prints run from 4 to 9 reductions, which is insane. You should check out his website to see what I'm talking about.
Anyways, I'm living with him for the next two months, and I'm uploading a few pictures now to show you how the place looks. I'll try my best to update every time I either pull a reduction, or do a major amount of carving. (I need to be in the studio to do this, because his house doesn't have internet)
Well, here we go! (A short tour of what I'm going to be dealing with for the next two months)

| Downtown Perkin's Cover, right of the bridge. |

| Don's house/Where I am staying. A true cabin in the woods. |
 |
| My bedroom, part one. |
 |
| My bedroom, part two. |
 |
| I even get my own personal bathroom! |
Anyways that's all for now, I'll upload more next time I'm in the studio!
Till next time~
