February
A late posting this month as I began a new job, and I have been trying to avoid being at my desk outside of work hours. The sun is getting up later and setting a bit sooner, but the temperature hasn’t quite dropped yet. It was a busy month with seeing a Cao Fei exhibition…

New Camera
Recently I purchased a Voigtländer Bessa R4M, because I wanted to try a rangefinder camera and I didn’t want to wait around for the FujiFilm X100VI. Also, eBay was running a code on cameras from Japan and I missed an opportunity to pick up a seemingly good quality Leica M6 for under $3K. After a…

Asemic Workshop
Last week, I ran my asemic writing workshop. Everyone who attended did some great work.m Things seemed to go well. I’m not sure what else to write about. Asemic writing for me seems to be this hidden kind of art. It sits between abstract expressionism and visual poetry. There is a certain aesthetic of lettering…

Megalo Again
I went back to Megalo for screen printing for the last two weekends. This time it’s for new posters for the Noted Festival’s Independent Publishing Fair. The posters include triptychs and smaller work. This will probably be the last screen printing I’ll run with for a while, as other projects are gaining some momentum. Unless…
