I've been a printing machine lately. I've got shows coming, and I'm out of several popular prints, so I've been reprinting these this week. Each print is three blocks, so it's a three day process to print each, with overnights for drying in between.
I'm also doing way more typesetting than usual. I'm doing my first poetry broadside for Corey Mesler, who owns Burke's Books here and who is also a writer. It's a fun project for National Poetry Month, and the one I chose (he sent me a selection) happily goes with my nocturne show as well.

It's nice to get a two for one. I'd like to do several more, so we'll see how many I can do before I leave my printing press for the next few months.
I'm also, very uncharacteristically, doing a little bit of job printing. I'm not in the business of wedding invitations and the like, since I'd rather make my own art, and I don't have all the spacers, and I'm an incredibly slow type setter. My letterpress fairy godmother gave me some spacers, though, and a couple of dear-to-me folks are getting married, so it seemed the thing to do. It's actually lovely to be involved when I care about the people. Makes it special.
