Last Wednesday we presented a few understated wood engravings by the noted upper-Midwestern engraver and fine-press printer Gaylord Schanilec from a portfolio of literary broadsides documenting the 1998 Hungry Midnight reading series at The Hungry Mind bookstore in St. Paul, Minnesota. For this #Fine Press Friday after Thanksgiving, we present the broadside portfolio documenting the previous year’s Hungry Midnight series featuring the work of Sherman Alexie, John Dufresne, Paul Metcalf, Margaret Atwood, Charles Baxter, and Jonathan Lethem.
Entitled Context is Everything, after a prose piece by Lethem, the portfolio was printed by Schanilec, with his original wood engravings, in an edition of 20 copies (with variously editioned broadsides) at his Stockholm, Wisconsin farmstead studio Midnight Paper Sales in 1997, with each broadside signed by its respective author.

"It was on a night like this that my Elizabeth – my wife – told me she was pregnant,” he said, pensively. “On Christmas Eve.” [...] “I lost her in the following year. She was nearly ready to give birth but – we didn’t have the time to become parents. But that night, that Christmas Eve – it was the best day I ever had, in all my life.” - Silent Night, Snow Night, by Chris Bishop
🌟🤍Happy Father's Day 🤍🌟
Since I had forgotten that today's Father's Day, why not I'll post this lovely CSatM I drew as a gift for Chris Bishop on Spectrum HQ.com ^^
I think this is fitting for this day, since Charles Gray is pretty much a father-figure to his officers, whenever he knows it or not. And this scene from Chris' fanfic that I was inspired to draw captured this part of his personality (as well as his relationship with Scarlet) perfectly! 😊🤍❤️
