Grungy Monday 39!

Sponsored by:

Happy Monday, and welcome to Grungy Monday 39! WOW-- thirty-nine!!! That's a whole lotta distressing, my friends (in a good way!), and I'm so grateful to everyone who's shared their art. This will be the last Grungy Monday for a while, because it's almost time to launch the Compendium of Curiosities Volume 2 series, and which will present 35 shiny new Tim Holtz techniques! If you haven't gotten your copy of CC2 yet, I hope you'll click the blinkie at the top of the right-hand column and order an autographed copy directly from the man himself! I'm putting the info together for the new series now, and should have it all finalized by mid-week, so please watch for an "official" announcement shortly.

Meanwhile, let's re-visit one of Tim's most clever alcohol-ink techniques with a trip back to December, '09:
