So tell me then...what gets me off the hook for the time I opened two silkscreen ink containers, thought "these need to be shaken up a bit", set them down, took a sip o' coffee, then promptly began to shake both of them (you know to be efficient)...?

Needless to say, Jackson Pollock had nothing on me in that moment.Uncle Beefyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01865761598525174229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144976013999744963.post-69643252371364467342008-03-11T17:10:00.000-06:002008-03-11T17:10:00.000-06:00During design school I was feverishly finishing up...During design school I was feverishly finishing up a magazine project the day before it was due, using double sided adhesive. I cleverly adhered the center spread back to front. <BR/><BR/>After getting up at the crack of dawn to travel the one and a half hours to the school to reprint the pages and refinish the project being ever-so-careful - I managed to do the exact same thing again.
