Block printing.
I’d carved blocks before, but after I took a little block printing workshop led by designer Dana Tanamachi during a visit to Laity Lodge, I went a little nuts for it. At a certain point in spring, all I wanted to do in the studio was listen to dub reggae and make block prints. I was even moved to write an unofficial guide to block printing. (Cartoonist Roz Chast is really into block printing right now and shows her work on Instagram.)
Erik Winkowski treats video like collage, cutting up, drawing over, and remixing scenes from everyday life in playful, unexpected ways.

I had so many requests from people who couldn’t get a copy that I’m sharing the complete text below. I’ve made also made a simplified mini-zine format that you can download, print, and fold up from a single piece of paper:
