@rzeta0 I would recommend browsing the local timeline at typo.social where you'll find plenty of good stuff, and no doubt familiar faces from twitter: https://typo.social/public/local
I also got to reproduce it for Issue 02 of BLAG (https://bl.ag/02) alongside an idiosyncratic piece about whether measurements for artworks are given Width x Height, or vice versa.
I get a weekly and monthly emsil digest of my site's stats, and the dashboard helps to understand things like where in the world visitors are from, what sites bring them to mine, and how well different pages/posts do.
It's all offered free of charge to broaden access, but for those that can, a suggested $10 contribution to the running costs is appreciated: https://bl.ag/tip.
Please #Boost to help reach more people that might like to indulge in these adventures in sign painting.
The Light Capsules initiative from Craig Winslow had me hooked from the moment I saw it.
Craig's latest installation in Winnipeg was the 'Ghost Sign Corner' feature in BLAG 04 (https://bl.ag/04) and he will be sharing a little of that at this weekend's BLAG Meet, before diving into some of his process, and what's in the pipeline for future installations.
Craig's session is one of 18 across 11 hours, all online and free to join: https://bl.ag/meet.
What's it like opening a sign shop with a high street presence, and a shopfront of your very own?
Find out tomorrow at BLAG Meet (https://bl.ag/meet) from two people that have recently done just that: Rachel E Millar and Hana Lindsay, the duo behind Glasgow's Bungo Sign Co.
'Getting Into It' is becoming a regular feature at BLAG, and tomorrow Tomos Jones will share his whirlwind journey from seeing a bit of signwriting on instagram to working all over the UK, and with some top-notch craftspeople.
Tomos' session is one of 18 across 11 hours, all online and free to join: https://bl.ag/meet.
A BLAG Meet bonus: I've just added a session with Kathy Kikkert who will be taking us for a walk through Hollywood's sign history. These iconic signs have fascinating back stories, and Kathy will tell some of those from her book, Hollywoood Signs.
Head to https://bl.ag/meet for details of all the sessions and a timezone converter to get the start times wherever you are in the world.
Just five hours to go until it all kicks off—I cannot wait!
We’ve finally made the move we’ve been planning for a long time: away from Google (which we used primarily for mail services). The transition to Proton for Business was much easier than we thought (though if we take suspiciously long to reply to your email… it might not have gone so smoothly 😅).
Yes, we may be paying a little more now, but knowing that we are no longer supporting a company whose values and actions we often disagree with is definitely worth it.
