I believe I will try and hide my shame behind a Coelophysis entirely rendered in Illustrator...Well, the missus has her father staying with us right now and when I brought home some of my prints to show him he was taken by the bare tree visible in the Print Lab Ego Boost point.
He offered to buy it; I had no idea how to price it so I let him and the missus work it out. I was told that I had to sign it so I did.
I have some of the ugliest handwriting in the world. People have told me that once you become accustomed to it, it's quite legible. But it is ugly, ugly, ugly. And when I signed the print I used an India ink brush and it was big and I made a spelling error in the man's name, for chrissakes.
So I'm going to print him another copy and sign it again. After I practice. I mean, that's fucking ridiculous, practicing a signature. But I need to. I really do.
I don't want to be the only person in the history of art who can reduce the value of his work by signing it.
