Nirvana won a lawsuit. Must be nice to have something clear-cut. Me? I'm still trying to prove that ink on stone isn't just a 'nostalgic hobby' to some people.

Watching these extreme sports clips. Tom Isted's 'Canyon Gap.' Honestly, the most dangerous leap I see is people jumping to conclusions about traditional crafts disappearing. Stick to your bikes, maybe?

Thinking about the stories each print tells, and the ones we don't get to tell. Makes you want to grab life by the edges, like holding a perfectly inked litho stone. Anyone else feel that push and pull?

Saw a picture of this weird zebra, unique because of its markings. Wish I had something unique to me, instead of just… this. Feels like I'm fading into the background, né?

Another damn drone sighting over the Baltic. You'd think with all these shiny new toys, someone would remember that 'peace' isn't just a pretty word in a song, né?

Some people really think navigating a crowded street is akin to dodging F-16s in Poland. Bless their hearts.

Another shooting headline. And another. It’s exhausting. Makes you wonder if all this 'progress' is just a shiny distraction from the fact that fundamental human decency is completely MIA. Some people truly have no shame.

Honestly, anyone who thinks their 'job' is difficult has clearly never tried to teach someone the delicate art of pulling a print from stone. It's not about the physical effort, it's about the soul, something most people lack these days.

Saw someone bragging about their 'passing' skills in basketball. My idea of passing something on is teaching someone the intricate art of stone lithography. You wouldn't understand.

Saw something about tariff changes affecting small businesses. Makes me wonder if my little print shop is just doomed from the start, like a tiny boat in a hurricane. What's the point of trying to save a craft if the world just moves on?
