General Strike poster

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:59:53 -0700

Two colors, 16” x 24”, printed onto reclaimed paper. I’m handing these out (FOR FREE) at Oakland’s Art Murmur tonight (April 6). If you’re in the Bay Area you should come find me and take some.

I quickly run through yellow ink

New poster!

This Saturday. Copies of the above poster (WHICH ARE SCREEN PRINTED) will be for sale. Or, if you are me, you can just go take one down from a electrical pole in Oakland/San Francisco. Bring a stool!

Of Course Not at Swarm Gallery

Salutations

(as usual: a scan of a real print)

So Jessalyn is doing a week long residency at People’s Gallery with Jennifer Hennesy. They’ve turned the gallery into a studio and are working IRL. You can walk in and ask them questions about glue types! There’s even a closing show on August 13 from 7:00 to 10:00. With music! I will 1000% guarantee Barrington Levy will make an appearance in the playlist at least once. Probably more.

If you’re going to miss the fun, Jessalyn put up a few photos on her website.

The best part is this poster was conceptualized, designed, printed, and shipped in 20 hours.

I’m currently selling some prints over at Food with Faces. Yes!

The 21 Grand poster show was excellent. Here’s a panorama of the installation (click to see full-scale version):

Installation was fun!

Smaller Than Before

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 12:05:55 -0800

After dumping out the washed kale into the cooking pot last night, we discovered the smallest snail EVER

I ran upstairs to get a camera. Upon returned to the kitchen I looked at the snail and thought, “Hrm. The snail didn’t move very far while I was gone. In fact, it’s moving REALLY slow.”

Snails seems to like kale. That makes sense since KALE IS DELICIOUS.

Last Days!

Little Otsu is closing this month. My window installation is down but there’s still a few print sets left for purchase. GO.

TESTS!

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:28:48 -0700

I needed to find out what’s up with CMYK printing on the new vacuum table.

Cyan

Cyan and Magenta

Cyan and Magenta and Yellow

Cyan and Magenta and Yellow and Black

Cyan and Magenta and Yellow and Black and CLOSEUP

Something had to happen with all these test prints

Old Printing Table

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:02:00 -0700

You saw the new one. Here’s the old one! This table’s top developed a dip in the surface so it wasn’t really feasible to donate it to a deserving printer. So deconstruction it is!

On the Shoulds of the Bear

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:56:37 -0700

“Radical feminist” (and friend!) Thera Webb is FINALLY putting out her first chap book. I was tasked with designing, printing, cutting, and shipping the covers to NEW YORK CITY. Full-bleed all the way. If you’re near NEW YORK CITY on September 30 you can see her at the Firewheel Editions/Fractious Press reading.

Pressure Washer

Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:13:36 -0700

Buying high amperage devices off of eBay is such a great experience! For instance, take this Blue Point pressure washer

It’s an 18 amp device. How to tell? By the label stuck DIRECTLY ONTO THE PRESSURE WASHER

Seems pretty straightforward! Hey, let’s take a look at the plug that came on the end of the chord

GREAT! A 15 amp plug for a 18 amp device! Extra cool because this plug was obviously added as a repair when the original plug broke. So someone went, “oh, wait. The plug broke. Should I take the three seconds to think about what plug to get? NO!!!”

Hey, so let’s open up this 15 amp plug to see what’s going on inside! But first there’s another label on the pressure washer

Don’t remove or bypass the grounding prong? It kind of seems like one would have to go out of their way to do that. Back to the plug

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did someone get a too-small-amperage plug but they also got a non-grounded plug so the green grounding wire is just flopping around when there’s a label on the pressure washer EXPLICITLY SAYING NOT TO DO THIS!!! YES!!!

I can only image people in the Blue Point factory (in ITALY) thinking, “wait, why are we putting on this warning sticker about the grounding plug? Don’t people know not to do that, especially since this is a pressure washer meaning lots of water will be flying around?” APPARENTLY NOT.

Seriously, this is so good. It’s not that someone snipped off a grounding prong, it’s that someone BOUGHT a replacement plug that DIDN’T have a grounding prong when it’s EXPLICITLY CLEAR a grounding prong is necessary.

Needless to say we fixed it

20 amp plug. Hey, did you know a 20 amp plug has a different prong configuration? I didn’t! Then we installed a GFCI 20 amp outlet due to the aforementioned flying water

Adventure over!

One-Arm Printing

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:43:00 -0700

So I DIY engineered a one-arm bandit/squeegee (as seen above). If you are REALLY interested in also building one a complete breakdown of the build can be found at this extra cool individual page. It’s kind of long.
