— unpredictable thoughts

This is a panoramic view of my pal Peter’s new let­ter­press shop in Dubuque. He’s just started get­ting things orga­nized. All the presses are in, unless he buys another, and refur­bish­ing has begun. Plenty of nat­ural light, ter­rific wood floors. It reminds me of the space Stel­larvi­sions was in for years.

I’m really look­ing for­ward to spend­ing some time there. Maybe a week retreat of sorts mak­ing prints with some of his fab­u­lous wood type col­lec­tion. I thought a series of broad­sheets. I’m think­ing I may cre­ate a library of marks that I can use much like my drawings.

I’m sure that Peter will have some ideas. Try­ing them will be part of the fun.
