august 14, 2012 - letterpresss nerd

this won't make too much sense if you aren't a letterpress printer, so if you aren't, just focus on how happy i look in my little apron. i get excited about using math in letterpress. i used to hate math; i thought i wouldn't need it because i'm an artist, but i use it all the time. and it's so exciting when i use it to solve puzzles. letterpress is a puzzle. the rectangles above my head are a mixture of furniture and spacing. and also a 6 pt slug on the bottom. imagine it all in a composing stick. ahhhh....

  1. ps - this is the first scan that shows where my drawing is on the page. it's usually tiny and off to the side. or crammed in the corner. or somewhere it wouldn't be if i were actually looking as i draw.

  3. Oh, you are a goofy girl. Totally entered a vortex of letterpress math with a student yesterday -- emerged safely, but she looked stunned.
