october 21, 2012 - MOHAI printing done!

my good friend laura reiter assisted me for my last MOHAI print run and it was very exciting. partly because i hadn't seen her in far too long (well over a year) and also because she loves the smell of ink as much as i do. then we went to her house and her children crawled all over me for the rest of the day, which was nice because children have special powers to see into your soul. like cats. so if laura's kids like me then i must be okay.

october 18, 2012 - print hero

so many great print nerd drawings to choose from this week, but i chose this one because i like the image of me on top pointing with authority. at work we printed a job for a new client, a client i would like to keep, and i noticed the color wasn't quite right. it's a 12-page booklet and those are the three signatures on the left - one big pile for each sheet of the booklet. like a print nerd comic book hero, i say, "stop! that color! it is not right! we must reprint!" then in the next drawing i have a big HERO ribbon. i did not actually receive a hero ribbon, but really i should have.

october 9, 2012 - snarkiness

i'm kind of funny. and kind of sarcastic. it is a delicate balance to amuse the audience without angering the audience. it worked well when i was writing papers in school. here i am being overly snarky in class. i shouldn't be so snarky. those are my students on the right - they are sticks with circles on top.

october 1, 20012 - an unfortunate drawing

hello? sorry it's been so long. i've been very busy and then it just got out of control. i'm back with posts for all the weeks i've missed.

1. new guy started at work. i had a dream that he had two left hands and in the dream i thought it was a really bad idea to hire a guy with two left hands because that would freak out customers. in real life he hides it somehow.

2. i was very productive at work. this makes me happy when i have tangible evidence that i worked hard. compared to the days when i have to search for things, answer lots of questions on the phone, email people back and forth, and i end up feeling like i did absolutely nothing.

3. this is the unfortunate drawing because it ended up a mess. i was contacted by david cornell, who is working on a film about old-timey things. the shots i saw are gorgeous, so i expect the entire film to be gorgeous. in the drawing i'm on the right (recognizable by my printer apron), the press is next to me, and then a bright light that is hot like the sun, and then one guy is crouching with the camera and the other guy is working the sun light. ACTION!
