LOL. Yeah... I've just gotten back into using it too after leaning pretty heavy on process inks for a while.
I've started doing paintings with it too... so cheap. I love it.

we swear by it, every single one of our posters has been printed with hosuepaint.
actually, the mix we've foudn to be most effective is somthing like... 70% housepaint 20% speedball 10% flotrol (or similar retardant, flotrol is good for hosuepaint) but straight hosuepaint with a little bit of flotrol will work just fine, consistancy is a little bit nicer and and easier to work with when you use the above mix.

Yeah, so I googled floetrol to see where I could get some in London and a bunch of weird porn sites came up in the search.....what is the deal with that? Do people use it as a lubricant or something?

the only thing I really dislike about house paint is when I washout, these sheets and gobs of gross acrylic... stuff is all coagulated and clogging my shjt.
actually, that and the texture on the paper sometimes bugs me. it's like... all rough or something compared to ink.
