I should be working on my dissertation but instead I'm sketching out plans to turn my Vandercook No. 01 galley press into a mobile protest press for printing posters on site and on the fly.

Happy Type High Day, my people.
@folger.edu has a printing press and connections to game designers. What might we do in combo?

Clearing off the last print from @skeuomorphpress.org’s Vandercook no. 14. We’ll be swapping it tomorrow with a Vandercook 4T given to us by a friend of the press, & the 14 will be going to the new book lab at Northern Illinois U. A little sad to see a trusty friend go but excited for its new home!

Exploring what's possible on a small tabletop Provisional Press. I will always be a Vandercook floor-press printer (mostly for the paper grippers on the tympan cylinder feeding sheets, rather than hand-placing on inked stuff*), but maybe I could manage less complex prints w/a larger showcard press +
Fat Bear Week... year-round? 🔵 Made a Quick GIF of my pulling the 1st pass of a work-in-progress print on a Provisional Press (small tabletop cylinder press) #DHmakes

Went back to try Deus Ex again & wouldn’t you know it, the underground journalists have a printing press. I need to start compiling a list of printing presses in video games—there’s an article or something there

I am still setting up shop here in #baltimore but I can't wait to max out my Vandercook 4 press bed for some big #linocut action!
A pair of goofy #owls for a children's hospital commission in #gainesvilleflorida. 24x24"ish (maybe bigger?) which is about as big as I go!
