I have been busy working on 3 woodcuts lately. Here are proofs of the key blocks for 2 of them. These will both be 2-color prints. I was hoping to have my press by now, but it looks like these will be done the old-fashioned way – lots of re-inking and rubbing with a plastic baren!
SWORDS:
Though it looks like something out of an 80′s Schwarzenegger sci-fi/action movie, these things are real. Apparently you can mount a number of different types of weapons. Disturbing, but interesting.
Police Tower:
I saw this mobile police tower pop up in a couple of places around town last spring. I believe they were using it to keep an eye on crowds when the NCAA basketball tournament was in town. You just tow it to your destination, get in, raise the baskets and voila, instant force multiplier. You don’t even need to have a person in it. With the tinted glass, it’s a portable panopticon. Notice the wind meter on top – one strong gust could be problematic. The company offers several models and upgrades including an armored model for more hostile environs.
