I picked up an old scrapbook album in a thrift store over the weekend because of these fantastic hand-lettered shop signs that were still mounted in its pages.
Today I opened it up for a better look and came across this little pencil drawing of a bewildered Hitler tucked in the back. Surprise.
Here’s a lovely set of photos I don’t remember taking.
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!
In all honesty the sticker is the only reason we bought this record.
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.
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.

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.
I made these yesterday on my new press. This new press is my everything.
