I'm thinking the sort of thing you'd see in the NYRB or some or in DC waiting room magazines? <br /><br />I have no idea where to start except maybe that print store off of M Street in Georgetown. And even then, need to educate myself. <br /><br />MANY thanks if you have any thoughts, I enjoy your writing both at the old blog and on the Tumblr.

Not an individual who could ever be emulated. And thank you for the Flusser tag. If you're interested, Duncan Hannah's recent book "20th Century Boy" recounts an afternoon spent in the company of Merkin as well as some other anecdotes.

I hope that all's been well with you.<br /><br />BibRiceJuniorForty-Eight...<br /><br />Frazier, Merkin, Wolfe, Hitchens....so many of the sharp elbowed, jaunty (sans Hitchens...he was a beloved visual mess) boulevardiers are gone. And I don't see their successors. Congrats on the Merkin lithograph. Actually I think his posters were all seriographs which create "thicker", more robust colors. I snagged three of them about six years ago when a seller offloaded a gaggle of them on eBay. And all of them are non-standard sizes so buying a poster frame ain't much of an option unless you trim the poster. Custom framing is expensive.<br /><br />Mister M-Lane, trusting that all is stable in your world. Sit down and cobble something and post it. That's what I'm trying to do. If I compare my output and style and topicality to my previous years' writing, I lose my motivation.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-51917656896770008692018-09-04T08:16:21.996-04:002018-09-04T08:16:21.996-04:00Great post!

When I saw his lithograph Hiroshima available on eBay for an affordable price I was ecstatic at my good fortune. Ordered, received and still in the shipping tube. I lack only the 5 feet of linear wall space and the necessarily gargantuan frame to give it pride of placeBibricejr1948http://gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-88011238861556049842018-08-31T18:43:50.619-04:002018-08-31T18:43:50.619-04:00Happy to see you writing here again!Happy to see you writing here again!Claire M.
