I know Jason was dead-set on revenge and sticking it to Batman in UTRH but now I’m making myself sad thinking about a Jason who finally sees Bruce as Batman again after so many years, and he sees Nightwing and another Robin but he can’t hear them. For the first time ever, he’s not on their comm frequency. He’s locked out of Bruce’s quiet field orders and status checks. He can see Bruce but he can’t hear him. All he gets is the mask.

A Poultry Piece Feathursday

Here are four hand-colored illustrations from A Poultry Piece written, illustrated, designed, and hand-printed in 1978 by Carol J. Blinn at her Warwick Press in Easthampton, Massachusetts, in an edition of 250 copies signed by the artist/printer. The book is a brief memoir of Blinn's time in Warwick, Massachusetts, "a picture post card New England town," and her most cherished memory of raising ducks and geese, particularly Pekin ducks: "It was not only the Pekins' beauty that attracted me, it was their cleverness." She writes:

Many years have passed since leaving Warwick and those ducks and geese behind. Living in Warwick enriched my life and I often yearn for another country home. . . . The building where I have my printing shop has a canal running behind it. Early in the morning I often see three sparkling white Peking ducks lazily swimming up the muddy water course. Standing quietly and watching, I hold my breath, secretly making believe they are mine.

Carol Blinn is among what we call the Pioneer Valley School artists. She apprenticed with the legendary master printer Harold McGrath at Leonard Baskin's Gehenna Press before beginning her own work as a printer, artist, paper decorator, and founding Warwick Press in 1973.

This book is dedicated to Blinn's friend Ron Masse who "helped share my anxieties & joys in the writing of this book. (What he actually did was egg me on.)" Our copy is another donation from the estate of our friend Dennis Bayuzick.

After seeing the little tutorial for bookbinding by @niennanir, and realizing I had most of the supplies already or could get them easily (and fairly cheaply, too,I ended up finding a couple nice sales like glue for $0.50 a bottle and nice textweight bright white paper for $20 instead of $35-40), I finally nerved up enough to try a hand binding of a fic. I picked one of my own (a 20k one, but split into 4 chapters, so I'll just do 1 chapter per booklet), and got to work.

Bug helped me weigh down the first one. It's currently drying into the cover, while the second one does its first dry. It was actually very easy, especially once I saw it in person. I might do a few others of my own.

A Woodcut Feathursday

Here are some woodcut feather-folk by American author, artist, designer, and letterpress printer Vincent Torre from his letterpress-printed book Songs & Fables printed in New York at his Inkwell Press in 1990 in an edition of 150 copies signed by Torre. The book is part of a four-volume series of Torre's own fables and poems, printed from handset type and illustrated with 80 full-colored woodcuts printed from the blocks. 

The birds shown here include a pigeon, a pelican and a so-called popinjay, a Trumpeter Swan and a Canada Goose, an ostrich, a bullfinch, a gull, and a parakeet. While the last image looks like some sort of blackbird, we believe it represents a wren to illustrate a verse about a gluttonous wren being kick out by his host, the swallow:

The swallow flew into a fit And pushed him through the hole. The wren became stuck fast in it At the waistline, on the whole. The swallow had to wait a day Until the wren got thinner And, finally, passed all the way. (Don't ask a bird to dinner.)
