The Pilot Is Home!

More details and pictures to come, but here's a shot of the new beauty in it's spot in my office/studio. I didn't realize it was going to be and Old Style Pilot, so it's MUCH prettier than I had hoped and I just love it! I also acquired a whole slew of other necessary elements, and will probably try and run my first print this week. YAY!

Ian and I managed to get it inside from my car (all 200 pounds of it...my knees are not amused) without too much difficulty; luckily we live on the first floor and so there is only 1 mini-staircase to get up to our door. Oh, it's so pretty. Sigh. Now I'm off to try and find a serial number so I can see how old it is...

    These freezing Chicago days are perfect for driving us artsy types inside - with nothing to do but be creative and productive, huh!

  2. Hey Brad,

    Cool! Thanks for the comment. I've been busy this week arranging transport for the big guy - the New Style 8 x 12 C&P, which I'll be getting Saturday. After that ordeal is over, I'll have plenty of updates about both presses!

    :)
