This weekend I finished my edition for the 2009 Art House Exchange (http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/printexchange).

The submission date is August 1st and I was worried about meeting the deadline. My original idea had been put on hold so often that it had become stale and I no longer felt that "creative connection" to what I was doing. I find it frustrating when I have to start and stop and put projects on hold for a month or two. After awhile, I just lose interest. Last week I decided my best move would be to scrap the old image and start fresh. Once I felt a creative connection to what is was doing, everything just fell into place.

The topic for the exchange is "Danger". I played around with some sketches dealing with barbed wire and feathers and liked the concept of coming close to "danger" but managing to escape it's grasp. So... I hit a snag and was dangerously close to missing the deadline for this project but managed to escape disaster and complete the print.
