Sometimes I feel guilty because a month goes by and I haven’t posted anything here. But then sometimes, I have nothing I want to share. Here’s something: I recently took a woodtype letterpress class at the San Francisco Center for the Book. I didn’t love how my poster turned out – color was too light, kerning too wide, but the experience was a good one, and I would like to do more printing. I posted some pics of the type to flickr.
Happy Thanksgiving.

When I was in grad school, I think I visited every single library in a 50 mile radius of the campus. Many times, there would be a cart in the lobby with old books for a buck or two. I got a handful of these books so sadly marked “Discard.” I absolutely love the patina on this children’s book about ATV’s (All Terrain Vehicles) called On the Sand by E. and R.S. Radlauer (1972). The authors also shot the photos. Here are some of my favorite images – immortalized.
