Cynthia, take notes, this is a great birthday or Christmas gift.

My friend Carlos at Springbox just showed me his copy of “Print Liberation: The Screen Printing Primer” from Print Liberation and I’m sold. I’ve been interested in screen printing but have yet to actually try it out and this book looks like the perfect instructional companion. Granted, I need more room to actually take on a project like this and with Ethan arriving any day now, the close-quarters combination of a baby and emulsion does evoke sights of CPS knocking on my door, so I’ll shelve this one for now.

But I’m also filled with the sights from the Crowe classic “Singles” where Cliff screen prints his band’s name onto a shirt and just how rock and roll that looked to me in 1992. That piece of inspiration has been stewing for 16 years.
