ASIFA-East had been using the same design for their award certificate for almost 40 years, so I volunteered to produce some new certificates for their 40th anniversary. The red ink was printed on by letterpress using tiny bits of lead type and big wood block numerals. The yellow part was silkscreened onto the paper, and the black lines were printed on top with a photocopier.

Mystery Closet
This is a true story about what I found in a walled-off closet inside my bedroom when I lived at 57 Kent Avenue. I started drawing the panels on big sheets of paper, cutting out the good ones and keeping them in an envelope. I liked the little booklet format since it works well to keep each panel a surprise, so that is how I printed the comic.
I printed up the cover at the AS220 letterpress in Providence, and xeroxed the inside pages. If you would like to trade for a copy, let me know.
