On a drive to Washington, D.C. to pick up the APHA / Chesapeake Chapter exhibition at The Catholic University of America, Jill and I stopped by Crooked Crow Press to see what Chris Manson was up to. He was hard at work on a wonderful series of illustrations and a foldout using a very complicated arrangement of border type for a new book by Henry Morris at Bird & Bull Press. It is always nice to stop in someone else’s shop to see both what they have that is interesting (this time type specimen books and fanciful type) and also how they keep things organized. It also gave us a good idea for how to treat some type for a 2008 calendar we are trying to start (note we visited Chris on December 29th). Oh well. We’ll consider this a dry run at the Lead Graffiti 2009 calendar.
