#Printing & Publication

We are often asked if multiple ink colors can be used on a single impression. In this video, Jared letterpress prints a phrase about museums showing that 6 ink colors is possible. The phrase “Museums are not neutral” was printed with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple ink using our Washington hand press. The wood type used is 15 line pica in size and the typeface is French Clarendon.

Our museum, like all museums, is not neutral. People often argue that museums should be neutral or that museums can’t be “political.” However, museums actually are cultural institutions that originate from colonial acquisition and they are about power. History is often written by the victors. It is important for museums to focus on multiple sources and perspectives, especially historically underrepresented groups. Promoting diversity is important to understanding a more holistic history of events.

do people think France and England are dating from their rivalry, do they get really annoyed about people speculating if they're dating anyone? are they shipped with their bosses sometimes?

There are most definitely people who ship France and England (or other nations in general). I feel like it would be either out of a meme, or people genuinely want to see them together. But it's kind of seen as weird to ship nations because they're real people in universe, and that can definitely cross boundaries.

England would absolutely hate it. Every time he sees art or edits of him with France, he wants to pull his hair out. But sometimes he makes the mistake of expressing his annoyance with the ship, which only fuels the fire. Luckily, he hasn't been on Wattpad yet. Otherwise, he'd have a fucking heart attack.

France finds it incredibly amusing. He doesn't really mind people writing smut or making art about him (as long as it's accurate/makes him look good). He also finds immense joy in England losing his shit, so he definitely encourages people and playfully flirts with him. He will also read some fics aloud.

They're definitely shipped with their bosses because it's the internet. This is where things start to get uncomfortable. I think a lot of it is ironic and tongue-in-cheek, but there are people who will cross a line. I'll leave that up to your imagination, but safe to say, they both find it weird.

I think its hilarious how bowser has his own picture frame of princess peach lol. Like did he steal it? Did he have the koopas infiltrate abd take snapshots?

Looks too professional to be a candid, sneakily-taken snapshot.

I headcanon that it's pretty easy to buy a print of a royal portrait, especially if you visit the gift shop of their local kingdom (or maybe mail order a copy in Bowser's case.) And yes, this theory does have some basis in game canon:

OH hey denver folks: Mutiny is officially the second comic shop on the planet to carry Kidd Commander books (next to Danny the Comic Shop), I met Jim and The Professor at the show this weekend and they were really into the comic! If you're in the area and want to help support me and a local shop (and also help make me look like a good investment lmaooo) maybe stop in and grab a book! I already got paid for these so don't feel bad about not going through my shop, this would save you shipping costs AND make me look like a good investment to the store. I didn't have a lot of stock so there aren't very many, I think they have volumes 1 and 2 and three copies each of the specials, so if they run out somehow or just haven't put them out yet or something going to the counter and asking about them would probably also help my reputation a little bit hehe
