The ups and downs of last week kept me from writing these notes so far, but better something than nothing.
WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING
1.
It was a rough week emotionally. I was hurt by a friend’s actions, and my attempt to communicate that to them failed spectacularly.
2.
In better news, I learned that Primarium won a couple of prizes at the Indigo Design Awards: one for digital design for social change, and another for the design of its website.
3.
I bought new ink pads, and spent Sunday afternoon making a couple of modular Devanagari prints using LEGO.
Amber and I’ve been able to make something of a regular swimming schedule. That night after our swim, we realised that a local pizza place had set up a temporary oven just a few paces away. They were making fresh, if somewhat boring, pizzas. Still wet, we ate hot pizzas by the poolside.
4.
It has been steady work on the Matra Type front. I finished drawing the first drafts for a lettering commission. For another one, I’ve been involved in a protracted conversation to get the paperwork in place. There is a yet-to-be-announced workshop and display I have to put together for mid-May, and I got started on its skeleton so I can prepare material and ship things off to the venue well in advance.
