My dad always said use the right tools for the job and the will go better. Still learning lessons taught to me thirty years ago. The woodtype project is back and rolling, though my thumb isn't just yet.

Keep it Wack!

This awesome video from The Muppets Studio reminds me of the cross-eyed dog and his blood lust for bunnies.

Last night I was carving some circles for the wood type project and ended up with a trip to the ER and 5 stitches. I think I am going to have to work my technique before things get really ugly.
No carving for a few days, in the meantime I'll be checking out the great wood type blog END GRAIN, and so should you.

Spilled some blood carving the C tonight.

Carving woodtype. The plan is to do a few alphabets, build a lo-fi press and see what happens.

I've taken a lot of photos and this is one of my favorites. IIt was shot from inside a Manhattan hotel room when I was in college on a trip to visit museums and design studios. It was shot with an ancient Yashica Mat that belonged to my Dad.

It feels like you are flying through the canyons of the city. It meant my Dad trusted me with his ancient camera, it's a glimpse of where my family is from and where I was born but never really lived. Being tough, raw and in the thick of it but always having that glimmer of sunshine peeking through.
