Vitruvian Girl
Unlike the Vitruvian Man, the Vitruvian Girl is not of perfect proportion. She is not the image that represents the blend of art and science during the Renaissance, or the universe as a whole, nor is she the measure of all things “girly”. She is however a believer..a believer like Leonardo that the human eye is the perfect instrument in which to learn the laws of nature, and the artist, the perfect person to illustrate them.The Vitruvian girl is a modern one.
She thinks, creates, observes, teaches, cares and shares. And even with her flaws and her fears, she reaches past the circle, out of bounds, free to fall, until she flies…
Follow her and see what wonders she may bring...
Moveable Type: Letterpress truck from Portland, OR
A couple of weeks ago some friends and I went to check out a mobile letterpress truck called Moveable Type (http://type-truck.com) run by Kyle Durrie who funded this new project via Kickstarter:(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/powerandlightpress/moveable-type-cross-country-adventures-in-printing).
She received funding to go cross-country and demonstrate letterpress printing techniques for free in her mobile truck, where she also sells various printed products from her print shop back in Portland, Power and Light Press(http://www.etsy.com/shop/powerandlight)
I took a few photos of my intro to letterpress experience, but had only my cell phone on me at the time, so the photos are less than great. Either way I was so glad I had a chance to partake, especially when Kyle was nice enough to give me her last Miami, FL print (shown at the end). Check the site in case she’s headed for a town near you!
