Typography Tuesday

This untitled pamphlet was a Christmas keepsake from Tony and Patsy Appleton printed in an edition of 100 copies in 1984 at their Old School Press, which at the time was in Buckland Dinham, England. Our copy has a signed presentation to "Abe & Kit." A printed message to recipients at the beginning of the pamphlet describes the contents and the reason for printing the keepsake:

I have recently acquired a Chiswick Press type specimen book showing the incomparable collection of initial letters, head & tailpieces, and borders & ornaments. Most of them were engraved by Mary Byfield, and a number were designed by Charlotte and Elizabeth Whittingham. This book may be the sole survivor of a small number made up for internal use in the press composing room. . . . I may possibly issue a facsimile of this 142 leaf specimen. In the meantime, here is an advance tasting for friends this Christmas. . . .

Our copy is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

hi

witness my struggle, ft: butter dish i was using as reference for rendering translucent glass, before i realized that i was going overboard for what is supposed to be a cartoon stylization

take 1: the most butterdish- i went overboard trying to copy the ref and also struggling because the ref is a clear dish on a white bg, so its hard to tell what's highlight and what's translucency. ultimately, i decided it looks overworked for such a small wearable, and also makes it hard to see the balls inside. also it looks lumpy

take 2: i actually kind of like this one, but if you zoom out it becomes clear its Also too overworked

take 3: mannn i was gonna be like 'and here's my ultimate version' but man.... its easier to see the balls in take 2.... this shit is difficult

take 4: okay it needs some kind of stronger highlight doesn't it. but also its at this point where i realize i'm overthinking it

tAKE 5: WHat if i combined 3 and 4... ohhhh fuck!!!!!!!!! (its overcluttered again)

okay so after take 5 i left this post to fuck around with it more and ended up with take 6

which i think is what i'm going to go with. i showed gill to ask for their opinion and i had to point out to them what i was even changing, because this area of the drawing is so small when zoomed out. im the king of obsessing over trivial details

Marbled Monday

This lovely sandy or striated-rock-like marbling is part of the binding of the book Culs de Lampe by the Gehenna Press, a fine arts press founded by American artist and graphic designer Leonard Baskin (1922-2000) in 1942. This book was published by the press in 1968. The paper is Nideggen and Fabriano blue and white and master printer Harold McGrath (1922-2000), who also printed for Barry Moser's Pennyroyal Press, was the printer.

The book consists of a series of culs-de-lampe, a subset of tailpieces that take a particular shape reminiscent of the bottom of a lamp (hence the name). These designs are often used at the bottom of pages or ends of sections or chapters of a book. Those seen here are printed in black, blue, green, and red and range in date from 1564-1680.

The marbled paper is a large nonpareil pattern. You can still see the underlying zig-zag or gel-git pattern that is the foundation of the nonpareil pattern (and most combed patterns). The colors are earthy browns and greys and remind me of sand or a cross-section of sedimentary rock. The binding was done by Gray Parrot, who has also bound editions for the likes of Dard Hunter's Mountain House Press and Henry Morris' Bird & Bull Press.

I got inspired to make a cosmetic change on my Les Paul, tonight.

The tailpiece is from an Ibanez AF-55, that was traded out for a Bigsby.

SkyWing Sports time!

Aerial Soccer kinda!! Super similar to quidditch if you know that too!

While arena battles and boxing helps train them for ground fighting, this sport helps train for aerial fighting and stamina while flying, helping train their wing muscles

they have thick armor so the leather balls don't hurt their weak points, but they use their head and tail to knock it around in the air

Tail armor piece has a huge blade on it to help power the ball through the air, and their helmets are flat and thick

Goalies protect the hoops each team has to get the ball through, and they have more armour than the others since they are actively trying to get in the way of the ball, and their tailpiece has two blades on it rather than just one

Players are not allowed to hold the ball while flying, similar to basketball rules not allowing them to carry the ball instead of bouncing it

if they are holding the ball, they have to stop and hove and have less than 5 seconds to decide where they are going to throw it

the ball cannot touch the ground at all

throwing the balls through the three hoops at the end of the fields gain different points based on the size of them (large hoop gets 1, medium gets 3, small gets 5) and the first team to 50 points wins!
