• PSU Multimedia Design Certification

  It’s official. I am registered for classes and will soon be on my way to becoming a certified flash geek or goddess. (hee) Perhaps both? It’s a goal.
  I went to an informational meeting last Thursday and after hearing Rob Reinhardt speak for an hour, I was definitely convinced this is the right path to take. [...]

• First press

  Here it is. My first press.

  It’s a Vandercook No. 0 proof press. It’s not really made for fine letterpress printing and a great way to get started (so I’ve been told). The artist whom I purchased this proof press from made prints from woodblocks. Hmmm… seed planted.
