It’s a little snowy here today, just a little reminder that spring is still around the corner, not quite here.

I added the For Johnathan compilation cd which features a film about director Chris Bennett’s friend , Johnathan, who died of cancer.

I also intend to have the designs finished and ready to go to press for Aspera, Starflyer 59, and Ester Drang one-sided LPs. Jeremy Dybash finished up etching for Aspera and Ester…
