I was once again pulled away from my copy work for another project, so I had missed over a week of work. When I arrived today, three new donations were waiting for me. I tallied my copy orders, and I have 21. I hope I can catch up over this week.
Andrew and I went down to storage so that I could bring up three new pieces that have been ordered: the Chagall, the medieval manuscript, and The White Rabbit Poster. I couldn’t find the Kalim of Hamsden manuscript, I’ll have to look through my notes to find its location.
I decided to use today to draw out more images, so I can bring them home to work on them. I’ve been tracing images, I have used a projector for some, but I prefer to use tracing paper. I put glass between the art and the paper, to protect the work. What I like about this is that tracing from the artwork in this way is that there is a sense of touch in the transfer–it is an index (see Peirce).
I drew out a new Currier& Ives print, and the White Rabbit. I also measured the sections of the Ed Ruscha book: it is comprised of sections glued together. I hope to being printing this tomorrow; I’ll do a small edition, as I have three orders for it already.
I hope to be back consistently now.
Very interesting line of work you have going. I am curious which Chagall you have. I am considering purchasing a lithograph. Do you own any of these?:

Good luck with catching up!
