Book Arts Jam – Oldskool Geeks

Saturday, October 14th, 2006 | BayArea, Misc

I visited today the Book Arts Jam at the Foothill College in Los Altos. It was great. A lot of interesting artists showing and selling book art.
Take for example Carolee and Jennie from Pod Post.

In the age of email they are demonstrating that paper, envelopes and USPS are cool.
Make sure to check out their website and buy some badges.

My favorite part of the show was the exhibition of letterpress printing machines. I used the opportunity to print my own custom Blog business cards. First step is to set the type.
Setting the Type
Did you notice the word “blog” reads mirrored “gold”? Hmm, I leave the interpretation to the reader.

And here is the final result. My custom card, guaranteed limit to 13 prints!
The Result: My cool Blog card

Next time I see Robert Scoble I need to give him one. OK, it is not as cool as Woz’s but it is unique.
