"And caught a little silver trout.."

 
 

Because this has been looping in my head all week, an attempt at a faux linocut in photoshop. Life is mostly deadlines right now, so I haven’t had a chance for any printmaking. I love carving blocks. Nothing beats the smell of ink. An ideal day for me would be cueing up an album or three and running a block through a press for ages. My biceps would be five stars if this was, in fact, my daily routine. But most of all, I love having something tangible in my hands, not just a collection of pixels stored amongst wires and uploaded to the ether. So maybe I’ll get around to turning this into an actual print, when things quiet down a bit.

But:

  • Please, someone, turn into a book this story of the 500 pounds of mystery pasta in the woods of New Jersey. I don’t want to know the real ending: all the imagined possibilities are too delightful to be ruined by anything prosaic.

  • While hunting for a reference photo, I stumbled on the Vintage Norway Tumblr and it is grand.

  • A LEGO version (!) of the Flannery O’Connor short story, A Good Man is Hard to Find.
