Why we do what we do

November 2, 2014 ·

il_570xN.634074383_nkarOne of my letterpress teachers created this poster, which I bought and hung above my press.

The words inspire me. I’m not a designer. I have no background in art. And, yet, for most of my life I’ve been drawn to type and white space. I’ve been trying to figure out where to go with my writing studio and my presses. What I am beginning to realize is I don’t need to “go” anywhere. So each day I do what moves me. One day I create a card. Another, an inspirational poster. Or I write. Or I meet my writing group. For me, the greatest gift in this journey is learning not to care what anyone thinks, but to create a life that matters to me.

I should have named my shop, “Even if nobody cares.”
