PEACE

Just one thing this time

The post last week was a lot, so I have just one thing this week:

I sent this print to my paid subscribers as a small way to say thank you.

I printed it using the Prixel, but it started with a design in Figma.

Then I transferred the digital design to the physical Prixel plate using little pieces while trying to avoid little hands.

I added a border and then I got rid of it.

I used two plates to make each print: one for the letters, one for the circles.

To make sure the circles didn’t overpower the letters I printed the circle plate two times on scrap paper before printing it a third time on the real paper. By the third print the ink was faded enough to compliment the letters.

Our kitchen table served as a makeshift print studio.

Success!

• The state of design with Bobby Aaron Solomon.

• A consolation sticker for those of us who have accidentally carved something right-reading (which means it will be printed backwards).

• These poetry comics are wonderful.

• If you have a Roku you can watch classic PBS shows for kids like Reading Rainbow and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.

• Who represents America? is a beautiful photographic project and website by Robin de Puy.

• This year I listened to The Story So Far for 2,951 minutes and Spotify Unwrapped shows they only got paid $2.51. What are some better ways to support artists?
