time wasting experiment

I'm kind of digging these pieces from Portland based Etsy artist Alyson Provax. I'm thinking about nabbing few of them to frame near my desk. I also love her explanation of the concept behind these prints:

"The 'Time Wasting Experiments' are an ongoing series of letterpress prints I've been producing which document time wasted. These are in part inspired by tracking 'billable hours' but also come from the compulsion to always be doing things and producing objects. This series is a sort of audit of how I spend my time, but the prints could also be thought of as permission slips allowing you to spend a period of time in a wasteful way (maybe recontextualizing a private, shameful activities into something which one tries to get done in a set amount of time)."
