I made some new shirts. 🌿🐅🌿

Hand-printed with a GOCCO screen. The screenprinting carousel for 2+ colours is fun.

I'll have a limited number of these at Thought Bubble '23 this month!

This week, we are talking about the mimeograph and other defunct print technology, including spirit duplicators, hectographs, and of course, the Gocco. 

Did you know that an embroidery transfer method called pouncing inspired Thomas Edison to invent the first-ever copy machine, a flatbed mimeograph? Or that Allied airmen who plotted the Great Escape used food tins and gelatin from Red Cross rations to create a hectograph to copy maps and forged papers? Learn all this and more in this episode.

You'll find out how the mimeograph, a favorite tool of 1930s zinesters, evolved, and how to make a master for a spirit duplicator. You'll hear gems from a 1960s secretary training course, too. Plus, relive the glory days of early craft blogging as we chronicle the attempt to Save Gocco!

I've written about how my love of analogue communication endures, despite a touch-averse pandemic and a world awash with fast content pumped from black rectangles.

a red-figure pottery style amphora depicting the minor greek deity ερμαφρόδιτος / “hermaphroditus”

the child of hermes and aphrodite featured in ancient mosaics, ceramics, & sculptures. his myth is an early interpretation of intersexuality (ovid’s rendition is particularly unpleasant). he was worshipped as a symbol of marriage, fertility, + eroticism.

historical representations of gender variance are interesting. there’s so many, from all over! different time and context, but I think they still hold value and relevance today. personally, it’s a special feeling to find old art of bodies that look similar to my own, or those I love.

it was a challenging experiment working with the riso print gocco machine! I learned much and look forward to future projects with this system 🏺🧡🪞

We all know how much kitties love destroying your home decor, right? That’s why I can’t have nice things, but it’s 100% worth it 🐱 Anyway, here I present you my latest Gocco print! It’s a limited edition of 50 screenprints handmade by yours truly and you can now adopt these naughty kitties here 🐈💌

PS. If you don’t know what Print Gocco is, it’s s small Japanese device from the 70s to make screenprints at home. Sadly it was discontinued in 2005. If you’re curious about how it works, I show you the process on my featured stories ✨

Today we took a look at an artist’s book by Portlander Shu-Ju Wang, Fatherland, which was printed partially using a now-defunct process: Gocco. It’s also one of the few items in our special collections that has been burned...
