…Between Cases (cont’d)…
…Workshop over and I think it went okay. I think a couple of people didn’t show up so there was myself and three interested souls. That was okay too — lots of time for each to do their thing and experiment. Here are the pics… …the work of the interested souls appears to have far…

Sherlock Holmes Between Cases?…
Saturday morning and a few snow fluffies coming down — the Weather Network has vague predictions of more. At the same time it is about -20C out there. Usually we are getting groceries at this time on this day but that is not happening today. So, I’m left thinking about things. It’s been a bit…

….Aaaaaaand Did I Mention Laziness?
Once again, the time has come to make another attempt…..to maybe maybe maybe rise again…..to something a little different perhaps. The word from WordPress is that they have renewed my ‘situation’ (for want of a better word) — automatically, yet. They don’t miss a beat, especially where making a buck is concerned. I wish I…

A Rare Day Of Printing….
There you have it! Type set, press inked and a one colour proof taken, type removed and spacing added and the first stage of a poster pulled…….This was a little job inspired by my better half who likes gardening and books and who saw a variation of this on the internet somewhere(with no credit given…

A comment — thank you very much — that I first thought was in regards to this Blog-spot but have found out on closer reading that it has to do with my previous ‘Rabbittown Ramblings’ efforts at blogging and, it has to do with the history of Rabbittown, or Rabbit Town as it was really…

A Thousand Words More Or Less….
Done on the press but not with the press! It has been a while since I did any drawing, and an opportunity just happened to come along. That being our belated observance of The Ascension in church yesterday. A picture being worth somewhere in the vicinity of a thousand words more or less, I…

Last Minute Changes…..
Roger’s poem, “Stepping Stones”, — at least the first two pages — on the press….or I should say the remnants of the first two pages and the beginning of their reconstruction. This little project began a couple of years ago, almost, and it is only just going to print. I don’t know if there is…

Unfinished Business….
Upstairs in the printshop/studio…..seldom visited……partly because of what it presently represents. That being ‘unfinished business’ — loose ends — we all have them. What is worse, for me it is but a visible sign of what is only the tip of the ice-berg. Now, if I was to be called up yonder, so to speak,…

Rabbittown Races Sing My Song…..Doo Dah, Doo Dah……
A Remington Rand Model 1 portable typewriter……made sometime in the early-mid nineteen hundreds by the Remington Tyewriter company in Canada, I think after the Remington Typewriter Company had merged with the Rand Kardex Company to form Remington Rand (in the United States). Prior to all that, The Remington Typewriter Company was the company and name…

Nothing New…..
Nothing new…….but then you have to remember that there is nothing (or very damn little) that is new……everything has been done before……..
