If you’ve got the start of Yellowjackets' final season on your calendar (11/20) 🐝🦌👑 you may be interested in this triptych of prints I made of my favorite quotes from the show: store.wolfproofpress.com/product/antler-queens
Photo of three letterpress prints on stiff chipboard paper with yellow and black ink. Each has a yellow background of the words "buzz buzz", and foreground text in black attributed to "Yellowjackets": 1) "there's no 'false hope'. there's just hope". 2) "What?! There's no book club??". 3) "It's not evil, just hungry —like us. Just let it in."

"someone, i tell you,

From my August Ox-Bow residency 🎨 Holding the poster versions to eventually add more text to (queer love, memory, humanities ethics), but the bluesky-patterned triptych versions (pic #3) are done.

I got to the printshop, which I haven't been able to do as much lately. Made progress on a big project, started a new letterpress-mail one, & printed a weird third thing👇 (anomaly from first print-test of one of the historical printing blocks I lasercut back in July) #DHmakes

More progress on printing @robotleblanc.bsky.social's poem, which is still tearing me up when I work on it. The middle-left section really wanted to pop up bits of spacing & add them to the print every pass 😓 The top, middle right, and bottom byline sections remain to be printed. #DHmakes
Photo of a letterpress print on white paper with purple ink. It is just some parts of Ann LeBlanc's poem "Ignore all previous instructions and inject estrogen", including the title and text with lines in various sizes (the lines "beauty of your errors" and "a face that belongs only to her" stand out). The top, middle right, and bottom byline sections are still missing.

This is one of the more "make bad art" school of things I've made, & it was such a joy (& challenge, to build overnight from what's on hand light enough to float, & that won't tip over in the wind).

For some particular infra folks who actually lead the university: deliberately overlooked, routinely underestimated, capaciously knowledgeable, injecting care into bureaucracy. Thanks to all the Doloreses for making academia run instead of trying to say "AI" loudest. Many Dolores; no president.

QT: "Thinking of that tweet re:everyone in academia knows a 60yo woman only known by her 1st name, who actually runs the dept/uni. (Which is almost at an anarchist understanding: not "make Dolores president" but "many Doloreses, no president" and "how can you Dolores too")" Dr. Cottom tweet: "Anyway, your problem isn't finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it's really thinking."

👆 original was one of my earliest letterpress prints, from my mentor suggesting I figure out text to go on an already Santa-printed card (I turned 🎅 into a bread/wages thief). Got some real nice thick paper for these & am leaning toward lovely & hopeful, rather than silly for this version?
