Fly in under the radar for a sneak peek at the latest goings-on here at Angel Bomb and inside my crowded cranium. You might find photos of a killer project about to hit the press, a rant about the state of design in the digital age, the inside scoop on an upcoming art opening, a recipe for succulent beef tenderloin in port-rosemary sauce, or something completely different.
The Blog is updated on a predictably unpredictable basis, so check back often to see what’s bubbling up to the surface.

Vintage Letterpress
So these two kids come walking into my shop all teary-eyed and crying and I ask them ‘what’s up?’ They tell me they need a print job done in a hurry, one color, a couple hundred copies max. I look for their parents but no-one else is around. The girl draws a picture of a dog, not a very good one either, and I try to get her to pony up for my illustration services but she wasn’t having any of it. I run the poster for them and they pay me with pennies and a handful of Tootsie Rolls. Lousy clients, but I’m glad they got their dog back.

Angel Bomb Letterpress in Hardbound Book Form
Last week with the help of Dan Marshall Photography, we took some dandy shots of recent work done on press for possible inclusion into an upcoming book on contemporary letterpress, called “Adventures in Letterpress” — A hardcover 178 page book to be published by Mark Batty Publisher, a respectable publisher of design books both here and in the UK. I don’t know how many of the pieces I submitted will make the final cut, but keep your fingers crossed. I’ll be letting you know as soon as this bad boy hits the shelves sometime early next year.
