I always have my journal with me. It was handmade by a guy at the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. If you go there he can make you one.

Having a background in doing printmaking and letterpress, I think that I became very interested in images that were flat and graphic. And my painting still today is very flat...American craft is like that too -- the painting is very flat. And also the painting that you see on the storefronts, handmade signs, tend to be very flat. That's probably my biggest influence... -- Margaret Kilgallen
I love the process of cutting everything out with a scalpel yourself: I don't want to have my stencils drawn up in Illustrator, then laser-cut.

The individual and handmade will always be worth more than what a computer can do, at least until computers can learn how to make mistakes. -- Ben Eine

I remember attending Toronto Comicon shortly after the release of Captain Marvel and seeing a five-year-old girl who'd come in a handmade Captain Marvel outfit with her hair moussed up - and I totally got the need for this book, for this hero.
