Obviously, when they started, they were typesetting using hot metal, so when they did kern, they'd often let forth an involuntary "Ow!!"

I’m sure they used the crust from the Cornish pastie to protect their fingers.

This morning I was greeted by my cats (Yoshi on the left, Tilly on the right) utterly rejecting a magazine cover I designed a couple years ago. I can't blame them, it's not great.

Name that artist

Could other colours besides the primary ones be used? Must the line be made explicit...? Were directions other than horizontal and vertical permissible for the position of the various elements? Should the image be concentrated within the surface of the picture, or was it better to suggest that it extended beyond the outer edges? Were the shape and placement of lines and areas of colour a question of intuition, or should they be governed by mathematical principles?

I wondered if it was a trap, it was so obvious! Not that you'd ever play a dirty rotten trick like that, being a gentleman.

I'm no gentleman. And I'm wrestling with paint and paper at the moment. Not sure who's winning yet.

Name that poet -
He has said his aim in writing a poem is “to construct a verbal device that would preserve an experience indefinitely by reproducing it in whoever read the poem.”
