Turns out the drywall & HVAC businesses that worked on our house were both out of business cards! Did a redesign and printed 500 for both of them. Would highly recommend both companies if you need any work done in #neworleans

First piece on the press in the new house is this wedding invitation designed by @foreignspell - did a double split fountain to load the border up with neon color on this wildflower seed handmade paper.

Here’s our Advance Guillotine in its new home! Thanks so much to @planetarymagnetics & @southernletterpress for helping me break it down and put it back together again so it would fit through the doors.
As a part of preparing to move into our first home I’ve been selling a lot of my archives to the @beineckelibrary at Yale. Probably saddest to be parting with this one of a kind copy of “The Bird Speaks” I made in 2006 while living in Texas, but I’m so happy it’s going somewhere it will be preserved and taken care of!

Just found this poster I saved from one of the most formative shows I ever attended. First time the Silver Jews ever played their songs live & backed by Will Oldham. Poster drawn by David Berman. #dragcityrecords #dragcity #fencebooks #emptybottle #chicago #whitemagic #aquacade #harmonykorine #opencitybooks
