I got this calendar out a wee bit late, so the dates stretch into 2009. (I'm also reprinting this for 2009). This calendar is a collabo with Alex--he did all the excellent research + all the excellent blurb writing. It is chock full of odd LA history gems + introduced me to both Tiny Broadwick and Georgeous George. all of the months follow: (as with the previous year's calendar, the images are linoleum blocks I cut + the text is all hand-set)
"Two-dimensional wondercabinets for the rural cosmopolitan"
From the motorized platen press in my mossy-green Silver Lake garage (and the metal type library in my basement) I incorporate my drawings and woodcuts into handprinted calendars, greeting cards, books, bags and other assorted ephemera. Amongst the fascinations of Krank Press: backyard zoology, Los Angeles history, classic American graphics and fonts, vehicles.
