We back! It’s been a crazy few weeks for your boy JBarber. I had extensive water damage to my house and had to shut down my studio for a full renovation. My studio is in shambles! It makes me think of two things. One, the people out in western NC that were devastated by the recent hurricane. The River Arts District was completely underwater for days. We have to continue to support them in any way that we can. Two, I can’t help be remember the amazing Legacy Print Weekend at Delita Martin’s studio hanging out with some of the best printmakers in the world. Today we got Rabea Ballin and Ann Johnson on the podcast recorded during our fun in Houston. We talked about experimenting in the studio, insight into your friends’ art process, taking classes at Anderson Ranch and much more. We are forgetting about our big studio problems for a little while and getting back to that good art talk we love.
