Subcultures are great

For hiding sociopaths

Beware charisma

I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah McDermott’s Letterpress 2 class at the Corcoran School of Art. We looked at slides of my work and talked about all the wild things you can do with a Vandercook, and with photopolymer, and with a brayer and ink. Of course, the conversation also touched on prison abolition, science fiction, and brand manuals. It was so fun to share my books with these talented students, to see the work they’re making, and hear their ideas. Always feels so good to be in a room of people who are excited about ornaments, process color separations, visual translations, invented languages, makeup, disseminating screeds, and finding every opportunity to use wood type.

(Amusing postscript: the first art show I was ever a part of  - as an exhibitor and a co-curator - was deaDCity’s show “NEVERMIND THE CORCORAN.”)

I'll be tabling at this excellent show with zines and letterpress prints. If you're planning on attending and are hoping to pick up something in particular, get in touch and I'll try to make it happen.

I made a print-on-demand book of the suggestions I got from Suggestion Box. You can order it here. Use coupon code “BLURBWELCOME” or “STARTINGSMALL” for 20% off your order.

I will be at this event on Sunday, selling letterpressed cards, prints, and gently used band t-shirts. Most things will cost just one Fugazi ($5). Who knows...I might even have some of Ben Sap's coveted cutting boards for sale. Anything could happen. Come by!
