The origin of the Almanac dates back to Germany in 1475, which contained weather forecasts, astronomical events, and farming tips. It quickly became popular in colonial America, particularly "Poor Richard's Almanack", published by Benjamin Franklin. Ironically, the last issue of the "Old Farmer's Almanac" was printed in 2025.
Woodblock and letterpress types on heavy acid-free kraft stock in seven shades/colors. Folded size is 7.5 x 8 inches (19 x 20 cm), unfolded 22 x 7.5 inches (56 x 19 cm). Hand-printed edition of 20, signed and numbered.
My artist books, broadsides, and loose-leaf editions are published in very small numbers, as low as five. All are hand-printed and hand-bound (in the case of books) by me, all are signed and numbered. While I am trying to be perfect, I am human, not a machine. Some variations in the editioned work are to be expected due to the processes, materials, and the artist’s change of mind. It is exactly what makes the work collectible: each piece is an original work of art. The pieces employ printmaking like original etchings, woodcuts, carborundum, screen prints, monotype, monoprint, and letterpress. Nothing is produced using digital reproduction methods.
