Really Big Prints is next month at the @hamiltonwoodtyp from July 19 - 22nd, 8 AM - 5 PM. The public is welcomed and encouraged to come by and watch us print big wood blocks with a steamroller. woodtype.org/pages/really-b…

For a solid hour this morning: no one else was up, I had my solitary coffee and the lovely green petrichor of our recent rain.

Grateful for ordinary time.

The Saturday Farmers Market in #GreenBay starts this weekend. They're selling merch with art by @stnorbert art student Claudia Dumoulin. Go Claudia! wearegreenbay.com/news/local-new…

My @stnorbert students collaborated with members of the @bgcgb to make prayer flags. Yesterday we celebrated and installed them under auspicious skies. fox11online.com/news/local/com…

I've had such wonderful students this year and it's a treat to be alongside them as they reflect on their work and celebrate their accomplishments.

@HistorianCLR For example: grass (and scales!)

I enjoyed reading these books to our kids, but now I love @haleshannon. Well said.

@HistorianCLR Same! I watch/listen to TV while I do the monotonous parts of things (like drawing grass). Later the finished piece reminds me of those shows.

Creative prompts are great. This is beautiful!

This is actually a good question. When I first heard this, I felt the same way, until I learned what the "classical education model" actually means. A thread.

Buzzing from the FATE conference in Denver and very grateful to past Katie who apparently already drafted the assignment briefs I need for class today.

Hooray!

Once upon a time, a dynasty ruled an empire. For generations, the emperor’s leadership went unchallenged because everyone knew the emperor was the wisest strongest warrior in the empire. How did they know? The emperor’s clothes.

Tis the season of kicking snow piles. Highly recommend it as a way to let off steam after, say, a meeting about budget cuts.

@KJezerMorton Lots of AirBnBs will have minimal decor and some big-text-as-art in it. Not the folksy maximalism you're talking about, but another part of the trend.

has anyone done a really good analysis of the trend of having tons and tons of text and signs ALL OVER the interior of your house? like, "live laugh love" but to the max? This is kind of more of a conservative decor trend than anything else. I am a student of it, u might say

Today I got to be part of a panel talking about #care, labor, and art with Carrie Scanga and @Dr_JessieW. I am grateful to get to share work and ideas with these two brilliant women and heartened by the audience's response to the work.

@thescrvnr Going to help Boyle clear out some weird juju?

I'm teaching two fun workshops at @hamiltonwoodtyp this summer: No-cards and a Letterpress Seed Swap. Printing with Hamilton's collection of wood type is a heady pleasure. Join me! woodtype.org/blogs/events/w… woodtype.org/blogs/events/w…
