Yes, we will get back to posting about work…
Posted in Horse & Buggy Press project on December 9, 2009 by horseandbuggypress… but the thing is my crappy camera crapped out so I can’t take pics of the various work projects over the last six weeks or so.
I have enjoyed working on some interesting projects including several literary broadsides.
We aim to get a new camera and be taking pictures and making blog posts about H&B projects before too long.
In the meantime, if you are local you can go to the Beyu Caffe that just opened up in the Snow Building downtown as I designed their menus. Looks to be a great venture, coffee, snacks, square meals, wine, beer, including DogfishHead 60 minute IPA on tap. Tell Dorian and company that you appreciate that he has that on top instead of Magic Hat or Big Boss or Highland Gaelic or some of the other swill that passes for draught beer in these parts.
Until the new camera gets in (early mid January?), these Friday tunes and occasional video links will have to suffice for the time being.

Training.
Posted in 21st century life on November 15, 2009 by horseandbuggypressAfter thirteen years it has come to my attention that being a self-employed print designer/letterpress printer simply isn’t ever going to be that lucrative of a career… so I’ve begun training Bella to be responsible for more than just her normal receptionist responsibilities at the shop.
We are in training her for the 2012 Steeplechase event in the Dog Olympics. She appears to be off to a good start.
Friday tune

never will forget David Rawlings’ guitar solo of this song at The Carolina Theatre, circa 2006.
Cool animation video
Posted in 21st century life, Art, Craft: not country-cute, but Craft on November 9, 2009 by horseandbuggypressFurnee and I took in the neighborhood artwalk and she was excited to buy a handmade mug from a neighbor down the street. Laura Korch makes pots as Trout Ceramics
The mug has a big ole whale wrapping around its body and Laura told us it was inspired by a Tom Waits song.
I think it is Fish and Bird, off Alice. A sweet song.
Below is a link to an interesting three minute animation clip here made by someone else who found another Tom Waits song about whales to be an inspiring springboard.
