Made up a writing game for my zine project “List of Forty” & you can try it too—create 40 categories of things, think of 6 words for each, type, cut out & place words envelopes, then draw one for each category and reassemble into strange little poems like this one: “ toes phthalo blue lust quotes funicular drinking” #typewriterpoetry #listofforty #lists #poetry #visualpoetry #zines #typewriter #textasimage #typewritergames #writinggames #bookarts #bookartist #artistsbooks #artistbook @collegebookart #collegebookartsassociation #collegebookarts @vampandtramp (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ntzzFhxSJ/?igshid=15lwbl374alhy

Congratulations to UICB’s Adjunct Professor Karen Carcia (@kjcarcia)for receiving this year’s CBAA Emerging Educator Award! @collegebookart . Karen Carcia is a poet and book artist. She fell in love with letterpress-printed books as a teenager when she bought a beautifully designed volume of poems—the words had a real, physical presence on the page that matched the way she felt reading them. Since then she’s been a student of the book. She is the author of On Subjects of Which We Know Nothing (New Michigan Press); her poems have appeared in Prompt Press, Anomalous, Diagram, and Forklift, Ohio. Her bookwork has been featured in national and international shows. She teaches at the University of Iowa Center for the Book. . #uictrbook #universityofiowa #uiowagraduatecollege #bookarts #bookartists #letterpressprinting #letterpress #bookstagram #craftmanship (at University of Iowa Center for the Book) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3exQFuJKQ5/?igshid=j7qlhzyrnsph

We’re having a great time at the @collegebookart conference. I’m so happy to see that @colophonbookarts is here with new colors of 18/3 thread. So much good shopping before I go home. #bookarts #bookartssupplies (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B65xTK9JwAO/?igshid=15pv47fx4nenq

A whirl of a weekend at the @collegebookart conference in Tucson. The focus was photo books, but a visit to the new letterpress shop was a big highlight. Thank you @dryheatpress and VariTyper Font Discs #ftw! #letterpress #cbaatucson2019 (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSAnntBH7R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6yluu227i2y6

Join me this Friday at 11 am for my artist’s talk at Arts on Douglas in New Smyrna Beach—we’ll try to sort out exactly what song the Cardinal is singing and explore how making art helps us reconnect with nature. #birdwatching #printmaking #birdsongbroadsides #birdsong #letterpress #artistsbooks #bookarts #ecoart #broadsides #textasimage #typography #collegebookarts #collaborativeprintmaking #sociallyengagedart #flock #rollinscollege #rollinsalumni https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhmA8fgsK-/?igshid=z1jh0oy9kz46

Many thanks to Nick G @toacertaindegree @cardandfast for his donation of this *mint* condition metal type from the B. Graul & Co in Berlin. And yes, we waited to open until it was needed. Best part— the font has accented letters, so we can finally set type in other languages. Thanks, Nick! #letterpress #type #typesetting #metaltype #collegebookart #rollinscollege #rollinscollegebookarts #rollinsart #rollinscollegeart #collegebookartassociation @benjaminrinehart @blountben @tom_may @bfransen75 @jeniferpatrick @bookartsguildcfl @springtidepress @ebecks (at Rollins College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwUDN8hmCi/?igshid=1q5x54sriiwqm

Excited to announce that the Rollins Book Arts Collection now owns a copy of this super rad interactive work titled ”Units” by Sarah Smith @olfactorygleanings in which viewers are invited to build stories by stacking and interlocking comic panels. @matt.runkle @benjaminrinehart @blountben @jchambliss2099 @dementedcomix @collegebookart #comics #artistsbooks #bookarts #collegebookartsassociation #collegebookart #rollinsprintmaking #rollinsbookarts @pzimmermann @karenzimhere @springtidepress (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66plnUBiII/?igshid=u1234zzibbny

I was really moved by this stunning work by Jennifer Rose Wolken about the loss of her father. You can read about it on the third image #bookart #longstitchbinding #sculpturalbooks #meditation #grief #bookartist #jenniferrosewolken @collegebookart #collegebookart #collegebookartassociation #cbaa2020 #cbaanola (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66oZqcB6G4/?igshid=1c22vb0758dg3

Our CBAA conference is starting well with a visit to Paper Machine. I love these flying books. #bookarts @collegebookart (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B60pODZpjGE/?igshid=11df67roub6cp

We’re back in the shop after the @collegebookart conference. We’re sad it’s all over but are happy to have this book by Emily Martin to remember the good times. Looking forward to the next time. #bookarts #artistsbooks #cbaa #greatconference #emilymartin @emilymartin53 (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6-5SBtp9Pc/?igshid=1ce8zwt2jj3i0

We’ll be sailing (well, flying) into New Orleans for the CBAA conference to hear great presentations about artists’ books. Were looking forward making new friends and to catching up with old ones. #bookarts @collegebookart (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wDefSpU9O/?igshid=9nlhs4s2h8h0
