KEEP WRITING no 16
March 2010

This month’s collaborator was @kyle_bravo_ , who taught me a little about screen printing but maybe not enough (check out the super sloppy text on the back). He designed and printed most of the front, I added the bubbles.
The front of a postcard, portrait orientation. The background is white. There is a window with blue bubbles going through it, from a light blue to a dark navy. The window is a light cream. Under the frame are the words "Create a situation for yourself" in all caps. The front of the postcard along with a shot of the back. Text on back: O I still love you, letterpress. This is Keep Writing #16 March 1010. A screen printing collaboration with: Kyle Bravo or Hot Iron Press. Subscribe -> $9 for 6 monthly postcards. Write: P.O. Box 16360 Baton Rouge, LA 70893. Or, if you are lazy: www. etsy.gutwrench.com. Also hotironpress.com to tell Kyle he's swell. A close up on the handwritten text.

KEEP WRITING no. 33
September 201

Inspired by a dramatic haircut and then I accidentally made tiny polymer plates to print it , and needed up silkscreen printing the blue and brown. And added white in letterpress.
The front and back of a green postcard, folded in half. There is a print of two Polaroid photos, one with Hope with long hair, and one with Hope with short hair, labeled "before" and "after" respectively. There are also blank Polaroids for people to fill in and return. The text on the postcard, in white, in the upper left reads: "Summer haircut after two stages. Still in the 90s so let's take it easy. Your Turn! On the other side of this card, use words and pictures to illustrate before and after. Tear at the fold and drop it in the mail." Hope's address is listed in the lower right: "To: Hope. 219 Lover's Lane Baton Rouge LA 70806 USA" The green postcard with white text over the top. "This is Keep Writing no. 33 September 2011. What you call heatwave we call summer. Subscribe. Six monthly cards for 9 dollars. Write: 219 Lover's Lane Batton Rouge, LA 70806. Or, if you must: www. gutwrench.etsy.com. Now you can view an electronic archive of all postcards and responses: www.keepwritingpostcards.tumblr.com. Now there is a deadline! Send your responses for up to postcard number 30 by OCT 1. This includes any books, paper, letters, maps, and inspiration. Don't forget my new address."

Letterpress print of the day!

I’ve been working with poet Anis Mojgani on broadsides that could be shared in schools, a project conceived by the IPRC.

It is so much fun letting a poet choose what to print .

this is 18x24 inches.

your daily letterpress: Th first exercise in all
my intro classes is to set your name and a short introduction, like 3 adjectives or nouns. We leave in typos or type
set backwards as a reminder of what can go wrong. I love teaching.
