Project M North: Belfast, Maine
John Bielenberg has made a career of “thinking wrong.” He created Project M to inspire young graphic designers, writers, photographers and other creative people to see that their work can have a positive and significant impact on the world. Furthermore >What could be more fun than a deck of Steampunk Monkeys?
[Tom Biederbeck] Steampunk is a mashup of Victorian technology, sci fi and punk that’s hot these days. It’s a cross between Jules Verne and Tom Verlaine, taking the form of fashion, fiction and now trading cards via Steampunk Monkey Nation, hilariously rendered by Chet Art and available at Felt & Wire Shop. Furthermore >Copy Jam!
On Thursday March 25, from 6–9 p.m., contributors to the blog printeresting.org will host a reception at Philadelphia creative collaboration Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. “COPY JAM!” will coincide with Mark/Remarque, the 2010 conference of SGC Philadephia, and the city-wide festival Philagrafika 2010. [LS] Furthermore >Ladies of Letterpress
Welcoming letterpress printers of all experience levels and specializations: from commercial printers to fine-press printers, zine makers to retail stationers. Ladies of Letterpress, founded in 2009 by Kseniya Thomas of Thomas-Printers and Jessica White of Heroes and Criminals Press, provides a community for the many new letterpress printers starting up every year. Members come together online to learn from one another, share resources and ideas, and at the same time keep letterpress a thriving, exciting and multifaceted art and craft. Furthermore >Kat Ran, we saw, we gaped
Be still, my arty heart. I’m clicking deliriously through a brilliant collection of postage stamps by type designers! Once again, someone has sent me a link to a site I cannot believe I had not known about. What a find, via my fine philatelic friend Cheryl Ganz, chief curator of Philately at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. [AK] Furthermore >Free cuts & caps for download
Briarpress.org, the online community of printers and artists dedicated to the preservation of letterpress, now has a great collection of thousands of vintage ornaments and initials from old specimen books for download. There are even tips for selecting and using them on press! [LS] |
