It’s been a weird year, and a facet of the weirdness has been very little work independently released here on AP. I have been busy but with all sorts of weird stuff that in hindsight is mostly just distractions. Often necessary or good but distractions nonetheless. 

It is important to know why you do things, reasons,  I mean for the most part antiquated press is all about creating work that lacks the obvious reason and purpose which comes along with projects and jobs and the like. It is about compulsions and hands-never-being-idle, and working in the medium of intaglio printmaking methodically and consistently till always. But then reasons happen. less intrinsic fun projects and endeavors. Not sure what i am saying, except that 2017 was weird. It did bring a lovely show for Antiquated Press, and the massive undertaking of “Whale” and a number of AP things that won’t fully be realized till next year and years to come.

2018 will be more productive, of that I am certain.

I do have a new print, just posted it. And It is also part of a wonderful gallery show 100X100 (all about affordable accessible independently created contemporary art) at the IGCA

. It is “Moon” a 14X14 etching. All done in aquatint. It is an edition of 60 and sales go to support the International Gallery of Contemporary Art. The very same gallery that hosted my show. It is a gallery I have grown quite fond of over the years.

For this print i chopped up the copper into 60 equal pieces, I numbered each and with every print buyers get a piece of the copper. Pretty cool interactive edition thing..

 anyhow here are some photos of the process and the final etching.

The whole of the etching was done in aquatint using step biting. I liked working in the negative, but i absolutely missed making lines. I am most comfortable making marks. 

I got a nice deep velvety aquatint. Very pleased with my blacks

The plate all freshly etched and clean from removing all the layers of stop out

Inked up very toothy

After proofing and then pulling the full edition. I etched the back of the plate with the edition numbers

I chopped the plate up, and rounded the edges and drilled a hole (so it can hang on a nail) 

Since this will be in a show and has the added facet of the copper pieces i built a cabinet/frame. I have been working on a number of wood projects lately so it was fun and familiar. I used some scrap mahogany (beautiful stuff to work with) 

sixty prints, sixty tags, sixty nails, glad I didn’t do 100 :) 

letterpress backers 

cabinet all hung in the gallery 

Pretty pleased with the interactive nature of this as a gallery piece. 

So yeah, thanks for reading all this. 

Your Pal Joe

I had the opportunity to exhibit a collection of my etchings at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage Alaska. This was my first opportunity to exhibit close to home and really visually celebrate the medium.

I took some photos of the exhibition. 

 In concert with the show I also produced my largest etching yet “Whale”. 

the final edition measures 25.5″ by 53″ and was a bear to etch, ink and pull on my press. I will be releasing it next week. Also I always set aside some editions for use in an exhibition. And so i will be listing several previously sold out prints in the editions page. 

Thanks to IGCA and everyone who came to the show. It was really pretty great.

Joe

Hello, so i just posted info about the pre sale for the all new edition from antiquated press. It is a pretty neat print that was so fun to work on. Technically it is my most ambitious project. Multiple hard grounds, aquatints, spit bites. You name it - I threw it at this guy. It is also about 100 square inches larger than my last biggest copper. SO yeah, its got this outrageous content.. crazy process and its huge. I even got a video of me pulling one of the regular editors

and here are some photos and such. 

When I finally get through all the work in putting together an edition, series, release etc. It is quite the experience releasing it. It starts out with being a huge pain in the ass. I love etching and making these prints, I love the process and the medium and materials. But ugh, the websites and the photos and the “doing everything correctly” is really tough because I tend to be a fuck up.

I grew up reading Richard and Wendy Pini Elfquest books. They had a major impact on me. I was a big fan of Skywise and all things woflriders. Add to that watchign the littles on saturday mornings and basically, if you’re a tiny magical creature.. you are gonna have an awesome steed. It just makes sense.

This is a six etching series. Fox, Hare, Snail, Moth, Sea Chariot and Owl. They are all 6″X9″ copper plates printed on 10″X13″ arches. THey are limited to 40 and well I really ended up pleased with the lot of them. It was fun to work on these smaller plates (especially after the beast that was Regatta). Here are some photos:

Hare: Just a basic hard ground, no aquatint or anything like that. Hare isnt the most exciting of the riders but it might be my favorite.

Sea Chariot: I utilized both hard ground and aquatinit in this etching. I actually drew this as just a drawing years ago, it became a t shirt as well at one of the big shirt places. But I have wanted to revisit it in copper for quite some time. I am far more pleased with this etching than the original drawing.

Snail: This one is also just a basic hard ground. Lots of step biting though. It has a pretty great texture to in due to some pretty deep etched lines.

Owl: Hard ground and aquatint. It was probably the one that gave me the most grief in the process. But still super fun etching to work on

Moth: Hardground, Basically drew itself, I loved working on the thistle, and the little rider is smaller than a nickle so i was working with a loupe and a tiny needle.

Fox: Technically, I am most pleased with this one.Mainly because I have struggled with step biting in aquatint (I am still trying to make acrylic aquatint usable) But It actually worked with this one. So all i see is aquatint step biting win haha

And there’s all the final proofs (with margins cut off) taped to my wall next to my workarea.

Since these etchings are smaller than my normal work, it presented an opportunity to SHIP FLAT (yay, loud noises) Tubes are not so bad, but my mailman gives me grief. And they are kinda tough to do something fun with. After the violently satisfying custom work I did on the astronaut santa christmas cards. I wasn’t gonna miss the opportunity to something cool with the packaging on this series.  And because of our Melancholy Press project we are fully equipped on the letterpress side. I ordered some plates with some riders logos. Ordered some polybags and found some REALLY NICE black tyvek envelopes. Water proof, tear proof etc. yay right? well not so much, the paper company basically considers Alaska to be on the moon. When I say my envelopes went from truck to plane, to a freaking BOAT out in the pacific ocean.. I am serious. It took a gruelingly long time to get the envelopes. And I really wasn’t going to be okay with just normal envelopes… I wanted to print them up with silver metallic ink.. it had to be black :(

All the packages also have double thick corrugated cardboard on tops and bottoms to protect the etchings, and each print is polybagged with a cool chipboard backer. I am pleased. I hope it is a nice thing to get in the mail.

SO yeah. I set aside 15 of the 40 editions for matching numbered sets. And gave a break on the price if you get the whole set. But those sold out in the presale, so I added 7 more. This doesn’t really effect anything, but I mention it because if you order just a single print, they will be in the edition numbers of 23-40. I think even if the sets all sell out again, I will leave up the set option and just try to find matching numbers as I go. Until theres only singles left.

Like I mentioned earlier, I had some pieces in the Mondo House Party SXSW show that happened last week. It was an amazing show with incredible talent. And I do have a pretty neat Etching I did for Monty Python, Based on the Crimson Permanent Assurance skit. That show will take place in Leeds UK - but is rescheduled to probably sometime in May. I will probably send out another awkward newsletter with lots of mistakes. Haha

Oh, speaking of neat things!! so for those out there who have a Fireflies.. or clockworks etchings. The television show Hawaii FIve O purchased a bunch of my prints to decorate the office of Jerry Ortega’s (Jorge Garcia)… (HURLEY!!) bunker office. Since Jorge is a regular on the show, his office shows up quite  a bit and it is oddly surreal seeing Fireflies making regular appearances.

And Lastly, I wanna show off this amazing framing job on a Regatta. This comes from my dear friend (and phenominal artist, author) Terry Fan.

Pretty nice with the black matting huh? Terry has good taste.

Thanks for hanging with me, if you read all of this. I have some fucking rad stuff in the works. Really. There will probably be two more releases in 2016, and they are gonna be ambitious. I hope to do better with posting things, but really i prefer to be in the studio scratching on copper. I have been trying to use instagram more. I posted progress shots on riders there.. look me up if you do the whole IG thing @isaboja

Your Pal,

Joe

Hello, 

so 2015 is winding down and I have been working on these plates for most of it. Actually I think I started Airship in 2014… But Regatta is the real beast. Largest most difficult etching to date. the plate itself is three feet wide and the final editions measure 40″ X17″ just dealing with that sized paper (at 270 gsm Arches) is a challenge. The editions for both are low at 30. and as usual they are in the AP editions page http://www.antiquatedpress.com/Editions/

Here are some photos. 

Hello all, 

Today i get to finally release this excellent collaboration with the wonderful Mat Pringle!! 

It is a sweet ass print we made together over the course of.. oh jesus like a year and a half. A long time coming. 

You can see it at the AP editions page http://www.antiquatedpress.com/Editions/index.php

Here is a nice photo of the man himself… Mat Pringle

And scattered throughout all these words are photos of our collaboration: The Phantom Huntsman.

 And for your reading pleasure, Mat and I did this Q&A discussion about this collaborative effort.

___________  cue intro music ________________

Joe: So it is pretty great we finally get to release this collaboration!
(loud noises)
It was a long time coming, but the final product is pretty great.
For those who do not know, the way Mat and I collaborated on this
piece was he drew the original illustration and I interpreted it on
copper.
Mat: That is pretty much the gist.

Joe: So Mat, you are a London based artist. An illustrator and printmaker
extraordinaire who I have admired and considered a pal for years.
For those not familiar with you - how would you describe your work?

Mat: Ha it’s odd in this day and age we seem to gather friends from afar
without ever meeting them and before you know it you’ve been pals for
ten years or so and you still haven’t met each other and yet with us
all plugged into this brave new world of social media we can follow
each other’s exploits relatively closely!  I always remember
discovering your work on Threadless and being totally blown away by
your drawing technique and fantastical concepts so it was a real joy
to see you move into printmaking full time.

My work is predominantly me, my trusty dipping pen and a bottle of
Indian ink.  Just about everything I do be it lino or increasingly
watercolour pieces stem from that initial pen and ink line work.  It’s
evolved over time from being obsessively detailed into a slightly less
detailed style - I think this is to do with confidence in my own
abilities - my initial approach to drawing was wow the audience with
lots of detail to distract from the fact I’m not so good at drawing
but I’m now at the point where I don’t feel the need to do this.  This
combined with the desire to be constantly learning new approaches
means my ‘style’ is always evolving but it nearly always starts with
my dipping pen and Indian ink.

Joe: It’s so true about this era of connectivity.. one day were gonna share a pint or 12.. so, What sort of themes, concepts and ideas inspire you?

Mat: Music and films are a huge part of my life and have been since my
spotty adolescence so these both play a huge part in my inspiration.
More specifically folklore, horror movies, bestiaries, cryptozoology,
the occult, flora and fauna.  I’m at the point where I want to do
something more substantial than just a print or poster; I’m more
interested in publishing zines and books.  I’ve got a couple of
children’s books on the go that I want to finish in the next few
months but it’s harder to find the time to work on them with teaching
and commissions etc.

Joe: Oh man, I love the unknown, esoteric and Fortean stuff.. one of my favorite dog eared books is the dictionary of the unexplained. For our piece we did The Phantom Huntsman, Im also a huge fan of old fables and tales. Tell me about the piece and what inspired to draw it.

Mat: The Phantom Huntsman is from English Folklore; the story goes Herne
the Hunter saved a King’s life by throwing himself in front of a
raging stag but in doing so the stag’s antlers pierced Herne’s heart.
As he lay dying a passing wizard (convenient right?) saved him by
somehow attaching the stag’s antlers to Herne’s head. Herne eventually
hanged himself in the ancient forest of Windsor and is said to haunt
the area.

The illustration is part of series I’ve been working on called
FOLKGORE in which I’ve reinterpreted old Folklore tales but with extra
nudity, violence and more sexual swear words.  I’ve even created some
of my own tales such as the Bird Woman of Brockley.  I’ve compiled the
first run of stories in a zine which has just gone to print and will
be available very soon.

Joe: how exciting, save a zine for me. The way I am approaching collaboration editions at AP, instead of involving money.. is to split the edition. So you ended up with half of the prints. There are so many companies that offer to put art on products but I really want to be in the clouds with AP and avoid all the bullshit.. what do you think about the way we did things?

Mat: I think the way we (you) worked the collaboration was perfect.  I
wouldn’t have got involved otherwise but the design world is currently
full of shady companies offering to put your artwork on mugs,
coasters, prints, contact lenses, condoms etc and it’s total bullshit.
Total fucking bullshit in fact.  The profits are typically very low
and what’s more you’re cheapening your artwork by allowing it to
happen.  I’m a printmaker and I make runs of prints with love and
[occasional] hard graft; I don’t want the same artwork being mass
produced on fucking napkins and teabags.  Plus that approach
encourages all kinds of bullshit such as ripping off other people’s
work, churning out endless shitty pop culture referencing crap and it
encourages laziness in creativity.

By doing it the Antiquated Press way we have absolute control over the
artwork, I know the prints are going to be fucking great because I
know you really care about what you do and if people like them we both
benefit.

Joe: that really is encouraging.. and I couldn’t agree more. The landscape of derivative work right now is depressing. 

One of the toughest things was shipping the completed prints to you
for signing.. I know that was stressful. It is a long way from Alaska
to London and back. But it is seriously satisfying having both our
signatures on the work. Maybe it is just me, but i get anxious
whenever I mail anything… cause of the crazy amount of work
involved. I reassure myself that i am just being crazy.. I tend to be
crazy sometimes. Is it just me?

Mat: Ha no that part was a nightmare for me too not least because the
Postal Service in the UK is so fucking expensive.  I went back and
forth to the Post Office three times tweaking the package each time to
get it to a certain size and it still cost a veritable fortune to send
back without a signature!  I was in a hellish limbo waiting for you to
confirm you’d received them!  It felt worse because I know it was 99%
all your hard work too!

Joe: You do amazing lino cut prints, I own several. How do you feel about a
medium like relief printing as opposed to straight up drawing for
silkscreening or other types of printmaking?

Mat: Aw shucks thanks.  I think the medium works for me really well as it
retains my pen and ink line work perfectly; I’m very conscious of not
veering too far away from that aesthetic.  Plus it tends to dictate a
very limited colour palette too which is something I like to stick to
as a result of doing a lot of screenprinting.  Plus I suck at lots of
colours…

Joe: I too am not a big color guy (no surprises there) I have a hard time not cutting my hands to bits with lino prints..
One day we will get a chance to hang out and you can give me
some tips.

Mat: Yes it can be a beast.  I teach Illustration and Printmaking at the
BRIT School in London and I’ve seen a student slice through her
finger.  It’s not pretty.  I tend not to teach lino cut printing
now…

Joe: So if you were able to give advice to someone out there. Lets say a
person who is considering working towards being an independent artist.
What would you tell them?

Mat: Always be drawing.  And draw what inspires you and drives you, don’t
get caught up in what everyone else is drawing and how they’re drawing
it. Stop with the shitty pop culture references; the world doesn’t
need anymore Breaking Bad/Game of Thrones prints.  Don’t be a dick.
And don’t work for free.

Joe: When I work I need to have music playing in the background, it is part
of my ritual - I have lots of little rituals when working. What sort
of environmental things do you require to be productive and creative?
What albums are on your drawing playlist right now?

Mat: Same.  Records are key.  And tea.  Plus biscuits.  I generally like a
tidy workspace too as I feel it’s conducive to being productive but if
you could see my studio right now you’d laugh your cock off at that
statement.  It’s a fucking tip.

I’m currently reassessing my record collection off the back of a
back-breaking house move by listening to every single lp from A to Z
and I’m in the Bs right now so lots of Broadcast, Boards of Canada,
Bonnie Prince Billy, Black Sabbath and the Beatles (Instagram hashtag
#vinylcullatoz if you’re that way inclined…). I have a theory that
if somehow you could only listen to music made by artist’s starting
with one letter of the alphabet, B would be a strong contender. Think
I’d have to wangle it in such a way I could have Captain Beefheart in
there too but that kind of works right?  Which letter would you
choose?

Joe: Oh wow… B is a strong contender.. Beck, Beatles, Black Sabbath, But the idea of restricting to a letter is gut wrenching.. what about C!! Cake, Cave Singers… I do like your approach though. I sorted my vinyl collection biographically like in High Fidelity. I know I know.. but it is nice to revisit eras in my life based on its location on the shelf. And it keeps a lot of the bullshit from cluttering up my favorite zones. I tend to pick like 4-5 albums and play them nonstop for the duration of a project.

Mat: It’s nearly Halloween too so I’m listening to shit loads of John
Carpenter soundtracks, the 'Under the Skin’ OST and Death Waltz
records.

Oh and Life Without Buildings because I missed them the first time
around and they’re incredible.

Joe: The artistic landscape right now changes so dramatically so fast, you
and I participated in the gold rush era in the tshirt business. And
that seems to have been replaced with this bizarre world of direct to
product manufacturing.. (my art on duvet covers… waht?!) But at the
same time an etsy revolution with traditional work and one of a kind
work also having it’s place in the sun. Where do you see all of this
leading? And what sort of opportunities do you see for small
independent artists (like us) in the future.

Mat: Ah the golden era of Threadless.  Actually I was a little late to that
gold rush but it’s certainly evolved a lot since then.  I’m not sure
where it’s headed to be honest.  Seems like everybody is an artist
these days with something to sell.  It makes me reluctant to get
involved.  I think for artists like you and I we have to remove
ourselves from everything else and just focus on making artwork that
moves us and brings us pleasure/contentment, mastering printing
techniques and generally just being miserable old bastards.

Not super helpful I admit…

I think it’s great that there are people like you around to carry on
great printmaking traditions, steering clear of the industry bullshit
and making beautiful work in the process.  It was a pleasure to be
asked to collaborate and I can’t wait to see who else you work with
over the coming months and years.

Joe: Aw thanks so much for that Mat, For people who are not familiar with your work.. gimme some links to share.

Mat:

Shop - https://www.etsy.com/shop/MatPringle

Joe: Anything else you wanna mention? about any cool projects you have
coming up in the future?

Mat: The first edition of FOLKGORE is coming very soon.  I’m also part of a
new publishing group called Spirit Duplicator and we have our first
release 'Atlantis’ coming out soon featuring artists, poets and
writers responses to the theme of Atlantis.  It’s fucking great and I
can say that as my involvement was relatively minimal.

Joe: Thanks for your time Mat! and thanks so much for working with me on
this edition. It will forever more be in the Antiquated Press Archives
and that is pretty great.

Mat: Thanks again for asking me and doing such a righteous job with the prints.

Hi,

I feel pretty damn inconsistent when it comes to posting stuff. It would be awesome to say it’s due to being so productive in the AP studio. But unfortunately I cannot use that excuse. I jus been tugged in a lot of directions the last handful of months. Not to say I haven’t done some neat stuff. Like the debut album cover for Kodiak Deathbeds. A wonderful album with the combined talents of Derek Fudesco (Cave Singers) and Amber Webber (Black Mountain) It is a spooky good album. Working with Derek and Amber was excellent, just wonderful artists who restore my faith when it comes to collaborating on the vision side.  

At the beginning we decided to do a limited edition of hand made intaglio album covers. SO i approached the project with a 1:1 scale. Which was pretty great. I am a big fan of music and vinyl. Part of my appreciation of analog processes and the brilliant tactile rituals that come along with vinyl LPs.

It is a copper etching on Arches cover, the ink is a graphic chemical renaissance black (my favorite ink)

all the song titles and the album title were etched..

looks pretty swell as an album cover

Each of the limited edition (50) was hand pulled, cut and glued in the AP studio.

Even letterpressed these handbill inserts. ohhh gold metallic ink on arches cover stock..

The album is now available for pre-order.

http://kodiakdeathbeds.bandcamp.com/album/kodiak-deathbeds

Follow that link and reserve a copy of either the normal release or the limited edition. The release is set for early August.

Joe

I really didn’t intend to release these prints along with the thanksgiving holiday. It just happened this way… 

But hey! two new prints - and the first in my Folklore series.. YAY! (loud noises)

You can see them and more details on the EDITIONS page. But the gist is that Treehouse is a pretty large print (22X29 inches) .. well it is large to me and I have been pecking away at it since June. I only editioned these to 35. That’s it. Cause they are kinda a pain to print and i wanted to keep it a really small personal series.

The inspiration behind treehouse comes from my own personal love and fascination with tree houses. When you are in a treehouse, there is this magical feeling.. it is quite unlike anything else. Being up in the trees with a slight breeze. The leaves whispering, the calm sway of the trees. It is one of a kind, and without fail it brings simple inexplicable joy.
I remember building my treehouse with my dad when I was a child, and then as an adult I built a treehouse with my kids. The memories and feelings of wonder were just as familiar playing in the trees with my kids as when I was a little guy. The magic of being in the trees is only a climb up a ladder away. I have considered these houses in the leaves. And how attractive it must be for the forest sprites. A place for the spirits, the kodama to enjoy. I imagine the countless abandoned tree houses in the woods. Or the ones that are all quiet at night being irresistible for them to occupy and more than likely part of the magic one feels in a treehouse has to do with these guys. 
It is a little place where the tinkerings of man and the natural way of the woods come together.
So I made this edition, and its little companion. To celebrate the magic and wonder. I went with an antiqued white arches paper that compliments the woodland mood of the editions. 

Kodama is this little companion print (it’s only 11 X 11 inches) that I made for Treehouse. And anyone who orders a Treehouse edition gets a little matching edition number kodama with it. (I also printed up 15 extra for those who only want the little print) 

These are super fun editions that will feel at home in a kids room as well as the most sophisticated living area (maybe not the MOST sophisticated) 

Thank you all for supporting AP, that is what I am thankful for. The awesome folks out there who keep me making these crazy copper etchings.. you all are the best. 

and here are some detail shots. 

Thanks again, happy holidays. 

your pal, 

Joe

Last item on my list of spring cleaning is sorting through my flat file. In the process I found some gems to give away on the Antiquated Press Facebook page. like comment or whatever to be entered. I will be drawing winners next week or so. 

my use of cooper black proves this is awesome

here is a test print from 08 for “harder they fall” from full metal tee. it is signed and a pretty swell print. 

here is one of AP’s first prints, “Migrating Bureaus” from 2009. A screenprint and one of very few out there. 

“workshop” another screenprint from ‘09 

made for the ap homepage. only a few of these made for complete clockworks edition sets. yeah, the website started in copper.

this is a test print from society 6 - 2010 i think. Ordered several of these to see the quality. “Icarus” i went ahead and signed it as well. 

It is so rare that I give away (never sell) original ink work. This is an original pencil and ink drawing of thor i did for a potential licensed by marvel tshirt which never came to be. 

this is one of only a couple proofs of the one lost plate in the clockworks series. it is a sad story. 

the wolf II edition is not just plain “wolf” because of this print. it did not make the cut into CW 13 and only a few were sent out to pals. 

the original concept sketch for “woods” edition in CW 13 

original concept sketch for “balloon” edition in CW 13. 

so yeah, you can comment here - or swing by the facebook page and shout out which one you’d like. i might be pulling some other sketches and stuff. thanks for supporting antiquated press

Joe

So, here it is February something or other. Been a bit since i posted anything. Basically last thing i posted was about getting all my new studio gear (PRESSSSS) and then proceeded to play catch up in a bunch of other real world important stuff. The studio had to take a back seat to a trip to Portland to get my boys ticker fixed. And then I have been promising my daughter an updated room for a couple months. THe last time I did up her room she was 7 and now that she is a teenager.. well the room was a bit dated, so I spent a month tearing out her tree and renovating her oddly shaped tiny tall room. While I was working in there Sally took up residence in my studio. 

Before: 

After:

So I got my studio back, which I celebrated with a fine cigar.

Then promptly got to work on my sink. I know it seems kinda ridiculous to be so excited about a sink. But seriously… look at this sink.

There are few things that can halt production and drive a person MAD the way poor facilities can. And I have been working with a less than adequate sink. This majestic stainless steel beast was fabricated specifically for etching. It is unbelievable. I feel so spoiled. Like a big printmaking princess. My trays fit in the table perfect, it has a nice slope to drain in the sink. it fits against the wall in my studio like it was built for it. It is a dream sink. a dreamy sink. 

SINK OF THE GODS

so yeah, I am excited about the sink. I will have it all installed this weekend. Also going to place my press and level the bed out and all that. Hopefully some organizing etc. Then I get back to working on plates. I am not sure if I will be posting progress shots on the upcoming work. Maybe just a few select plates in the series. To you know.. be in touch or some such. 

I apologize for being less than informative lately. I have gotten some email inquiries about what is going on with release four so I figured I would write up a post. September has been tough, I hoped to have had Clockworks done and posted by now- unfortunately it is not the case.

It looks like it will not be up until early October.

Also, due to some poor choices when it comes to the AP and clockworks shirts. They are not going to happen. All orders for the shirts have been refunded. If you ordered a shirt and did NOT get a refund/email of deepest apologies. Please email and I will get it sorted (info@antiquatedpress.com)

I don’t know if we will end up even making AP shirts right now. Me and shirts are a complicated thing and as of right now I kinda hate t-shirts. but as usual that is subject to change. Cool thing about doing all this without a production co. is I get to do whatever the hell I want. Bad thing is I get to do whatever the hell I want.

In other news it snowed this morning - which combined with the late May snowfall means that our non-snowy months were a paltry four. Four is not a lot of months without snow.

Some pretty neat stuff in the works - not really one to do the whole “I can’t talk about it” thing, it’s not really that cool. Just collaborations and an intensely involved process video.

Since the release is so damn delayed, here are some photos of some of the R4 plates

Joe

release three of clockworks series posted late last night
