I’ve launched the standalone site for purchasing Six Centuries of Type & Printing, a cloth-bound hardcover book, which is paired with the ebook. You can also buy the ebook by itself, snag the unabridged audio edition, and add letterpress-printed bookmarks. (tems ship around July 20.) sixcent.info

Two-page spread from the book showing two illustrations in green at the top of each page. Hand holds the book in front of a bookcase with printing-related titles and items. The title on the left-hand page is A Press That Lasts Centuries. Left-hand page illustration is Dance of Death (15th century woodcut) showing skeletons dancing with printers as they take them away. Right-hand page shows a common press, like those used from Gutenberg to the early 1800s.Bookmarks printed in red and black with large type reading Tutivillus (top) and Printer’s Devil (obscured beneath top bookmark, which is placed at an angle) [digital preview of printed item]Line drawing of man speaking into wax recording apparatus, his mouth inside a tube as he holds a lever to rotate the wax drum

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

my latest mushroom artwork was inspired by a central coast jaunt (more tropical region) that I undertook in a very rainy week in autumn! some of the fungi I saw were amaaazing
