Many things, many things. First - the new book. Conceptualized on and off over a year or so, but written, created, and printed in Basel in August, during the 10-day International Printmaking Residency that I organized at druckwerk. Surrounded by friends.

Sad to see 'em go, the friends. Nice to be home, of course, but you know, missing, all that. Nowadays I go to the print shop and work on editioning the book. Took some pictures of the first book I assembled:
The shop here, called Al Hambra & Sons, where I have my press and sell my work (theoretically), is a nice place to come every day. Friendly people, lots of space. We officially opened the boutique to the public on August 23rd, it felt like a big success. We were all worn out after, seems like a good sign. Still working on a website, but so far we've got
this.

I have acquired a bit of wooden type, exciting. I've even had a chance to use it already. So despite the fact that the dark falls noticeably earlier every day, I've got plenty to keep me busy.
