nostalgia won. hello, “zorro!”

I had been shopping around for a solid ream cutter for some time now and had narrowed my options down to several different models readily found on eBay. I was so close to making a bid, when I spotted this awesome Challenge Advance 19″ guillotine paper cutter on Craigslist… That was a few months ago… Between a shiny new modern Paper Cutter 3000 or a 300ish lb. cast iron guillotine cutter, nostalgia won. Since I was back in SoCal for three weeks, I made sure to squeeze in time to finally take him home and introduce him to the rest of the studio. He’s old, heavy and rusty, but that’s all superficial. There’s plenty of cutting life left in this old guy. I guess I have a soft spot for heavy antiquated machinery. Welcome to the family, “Zorro.”

Thank you for visiting my design and letterpress blog. Here, I will be posting my experiments, solutions and an occasional reaction to the world around me. I hope to document my chronicles as a designer, my adventures as a typophile, and my trials and errors with one of my first loves—letterpress. enjoy
