As promised

My doctors assure me that the best way back from a long bout of amnesia is a systematic analysis of my surroundings. In that spirit this begins visual tour of the new studio...


The door- lovely weird metal with a mail slot - the numbers are a bit offensive- I see a new vinyl cut in my future. The green is a bit odd but with the brick it reminds me of an old H.A.Rey book so I am leaving that for now. Tomorrow.... the office room.

sweet return

Oh my - where have I been? What is happening? I seem to be slowly recovering from a strange bout of amnesia- luckily even in my sleep I managed to work on the new studio - I will do a week of studio shots starting Monday- don't want to wake up too quickly now, do we?

finally!

Well that took longer than I thought! I have a stack of 50 printed and bound book like things ready to go. Off to the airport for a Sunday drop in the box- got to love living in Columbus!

The street of Industry

I have had my eye on this space for almost a year- back when rough and perfect was just a glimmer of an idea. I LOVE this street! Most of the buildings and businesses are from the 30's and 40's- there are upholsterers and bakers and printers- heaven. Stay tuned as we fix up our new digs....

We have a key!

Just signed the lease to our new studio- move in day is the 15th....

printing

I printed the cover for the catalog yesterday - lovely BK Rives with long edges ripped, double inked black on a Vandercook. I did the "rough and perfect" deboss at home on my little Kelsey- I need to get the text block printed up today, I have some ideas about that....

Back from the Furniture Fair!

Steven arrived home last night with a station wagon full of goods- time to unpack and get the pieces properly photograhed for the soon to be printed catalog. Thanks to Eric for the fab digs in Chelsea, to Kurt for having a brother with fab digs, to Bob at Logan Elm Press for help with the printing, to the cast of thousands (literally) who helped us cover kids, dogs, jobs, etc. while we were away. And finally thanks to you dear reader, without whom this would all be for naught.
