    I was born into a house filled with letterpress. My dad was a printer who ran a press in the garage. Grew up with letraset books and draws and draws of rub-down lettering. Was rendering fonts before I was drawing Spiderman. Started work at 15 in Birmingham in 1985. Pre computer environment. Did paste up, operated the PMT machine, sent copy out to phototypesetetrs, proerly marked up. Was trained to hand render times roman at 5pt. Fucking waste of time that was.

    • Still really good if I'm relaxed, but I developed an essential tremor in my 20's so if that kicks in it looks like shit.Studiospooky
