This Title Intentionally Left Blank

image


Last Wednesday, I stopped by the WNY Book Arts Collaborative for a demo of this... thing. It's called a Ludlow, and it involves a wall of drawers, molten lead and something called antimony. I was shown how to make the shiny new coolness pictured above.

Surrounded by some very hep cats in the mad scientist basement of this place, I was struck the relevance of what happens there. These people make print the old fashioned way by choice, an activity which I thought would seem quaint or eccentric. Handwriting means less and less now, as our choice of fonts becomes more important. These guys know why certain things in the written world are as they are, and how they got to be that way.

You've got to stop down there.

We Live

I can tell you this -- trying to get a magazine out during the holidays while buying a house and moving is... let's just call it challenging.

The latest GF - vol 2 - is ready to go, with three new writers no less. And so, the process of distribution and word-out-getting begins anew.
