In all honesty the sticker is the only reason we bought this record.

more studio accidents
today in the studio
This week in the studio I printed hundreds of letterpress postcards with the help of my co-op student Karla. Here’s a little video preview:
And here are the accidental photos I took while trying to make the video:

Ajuga, hosta, flagstone, goldfish grass. We’re getting somewhere.
clown
Clowns have been all over the news lately and it reminded me of my favourite clown sighting. Perhaps it’s actually more of a skeleton sighting, but either way you have to admit this kid is amazing.
Meditating clown/skeleton kid, Kentucky Welcome Center, spring 2009.
My second favourite clown sighting happened last month at Dragon Con, when I overheard a man in the street yelling into a cellphone: “Aw shit! Aw SHIT! They got IT here man, they got IT here!” while around the corner, a clown with a balloon slipped off into the crowd.
omg yes
I made these yesterday on my new press. This new press is my everything.
creep
After stopping to take a photo on the way home from the studio, I walked the rest of the way with the phone in my hand and so, naturally, the phone took a bunch of accidental photos. Then I got a message from Google Maps asking me to add these 4 photos to the Victoria Tavern page. That’s not at all creepy.
Funny it didn’t also ask for these ones.
hank snow
I’m not sure where I picked up this wood type but these 8 pieces are all I have of this typeface. I only just noticed today that it’s enough to spell out HANK SNOW. I sort of feel like it’s my destiny to make prints about Hank now. If you’ve ever peeked inside my record collection you’ll know that’s just fine.
i have nothing interesting to say so let me show you what i bought

This weekend we closed the studio and drove up to Oshawa to pick up this gorgeous beast:
It’s a 6.5×10 Chandler & Price Pilot, fully refurbished, in beautiful condition, and ready to be put to work. It’s a perfect press for our tiny space, with the capability to handle large scale production while being user friendly and a fantastic learning press for our students and studio members. We can’t wait to fire it up and get printing.
