I almost have no words to express my levels of fury at images of reversed lead type.

(The latest abomination being the giant Sherlock Holmes posters at Flinders St Station. I get so angry that even Robert Downey Junior’s face can’t distract me.)

The trailer for Gangs Of New York has lead type in it, and it makes me mad because its all reversed and frontfacing.

About:

I'm a printmaker. I've recently been awarded my Master of Fine Art in Printmaking.

I used to keep a big folder containing all my research. This is the electronic version. "Once Upon a Spacetime" sounded far less filthy than "Crumpet's Big Box".

For less MFA and more TPB, Anybody want a peanut?.
