New: I went on a months-long treasure hunt for 1,200+ books spanning 450+ years to digitize Daniel Updike’s Printing Types from 1922, detailing the history of printing and typography. Made a nifty poster too. Link in next post.

@snezanalawrence @dajmeyer Thanks for the kind words!

@dajmeyer It's so lovely, the original, but credit must also be given to @rougeux who managed to do the animations in such a delicate way.

Beautiful!

Congrats, Mike! Excited to see the new site live too. It was great to work with you on the design and bring it to life.

Visit the new shop: c82.net/shop

I’ve made a lot of posters (and some puzzles) over the years. Now, they’re all available in one place in my new shop. One easy place to find gifts for friends, family, or yourself…and maybe discover something new. Link in the next post.

New project 11 months in the making! Lilies & Roses of P.J. Redouté. I created a digital edition of his most stunning collections from 1802–1833. Colorful posters and an in-depth blog post about how it was made: Explore: c82.net/work/?id=396 Blog: c82.net/blog?id=95

Test prints arrived and oh my did they turn out well. I'm very pleased. More to come soon.

Writing making-of blog posts is a bizarre experience: dreadfully daunting beforehand, frustrating yet exhilarating during, and bittersweet afterward. Never enough but also too long. Still, I enjoy telling everyone about the nerdy details. A new one is underway.

After staring at the same project while I build it out for the past 11 months, I still enjoy browsing through it. That’s a good sign, right? Test prints have been ordered. Hope they turn out well.

Eleven months of prepping source material finally done. Now to make something.
