Look at this amazing thing I bought at the Goodwill today. It’s screenprinted on the back of a piece of convex glass, with a background of sky and ground offset printed on Masonite. Five dollars!

“for your protection”
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.
