Greetings all -

I realize I’ve been away for a while, it’s been a busy couple months on this end (big-ol’ roadtrip + school-prep + new semester starting).

I thought I’d post a little bit about an upcoming project I’m working on.  By project, I may in fact mean an upcoming life change as this could be a long term thing.

I am trying to open a public print shop in Baltimore. We don’t have anything like this here and for the life of me I can’t tell why. We need one, bad, and I know I can do it.  Everyone I’ve talked to about it has been ridiculously supportive.

The equipment lineup is building rapidly, though I’ve currently put it on hold as I’m completely out of space for anything anywhere.  The next search is going to be for a SPACE – - I have some critical requirements: Industrial, 1st floor, loading dock, affordable… etc etc.  I think I want to live there, and I think I want to buy the space up front.  Yeah, I’m crazy like that.

The shop is currently being formed in my mind, and in contents but not space, and all of this is being documented over at BaltimorePrintStudios.com. We’re taking in presses as fast as we can. We just got a silkscreen exposure unit, which is ridiculously modern and orange in comparison to the rest of the equipment in the shop.

And as an inside tidbit, since this is a personal blog, the ‘we’ mentioned ad nauseum on the site is really just me. But it sure sounds better, no?

Anyhoo, I thought you should all know that I’m still here – - Until next time!
