I keep going back to these words that Alex wrote in 2016. (Original letterpress print on second slide) I’ve been rewriting them as a comfort mantra. I keep seeing the ways I would reimagine them on paper lettered & illustrated. I already messaged him about a reprint. I’ve texted several others about collabs. Do you have an idea? Let’s make some cool shit together. If you need to rest. Rest. I’ll be here when you’re ready.

Feels a little like kismet to receive this @kenned

Feels a little like kismet to receive this @kennedyprints book in the same week that I signed up for an @biginkprints workshop at @newimprintstudio in April. I’m still not quite sure what I will be carving for the spring, but one of my favorite weeks of my life was spent at a workshop taught by Amos, bunking with @mmvk and printing at all hours of the day and night at the Center for Book Arts at Wells College.

So maybe I’ll find some inspiration while reading this book and remembering the smell of ink on the page.

I’ll also be thinking about The Gentleman Printer (@serotinepress) who was with me the first time I experienced a Big Ink event at the MFA, and who I often talked about doing a workshop with, and will be hoping for some inspiration from @piscesjeff because thinking about him always encouraging his friends to do the thing is what made signing up for the workshop a no brainer.

My baby is print ready for the first time in over

My baby is print ready for the first time in over a year. It’s also the first time I’ve been able to be in the studio alone for more than five minutes without breaking down, or having to hurry up and leave. And I may yet still (read: definitely will) have a good cry at some point today as I’m finishing up getting things ready for the Gentleman Printer’s memorial tomorrow, but it feels good to be in the space. I’m remembering the feel of getting ink on paper, some inspiration is rekindling. There’s still some work to do, some equipment to fix and things to tune, but I’m ready for this space to wake up from its long slumber.

My friend is gone and I am bereft. 💔 We shared a studio and so many wonderful experiences. This poem popped into my head, so I thought I would share for anyone who it might help.

Wading back into the custom projects world with a very special project for a beloved friend’s family and thought I’d practice my reels skills while taking inventory of envelope and enclosure packaging options. #bespoke #stationery #invitations
