Silent Type 3, and bonus wall collages




It will be a small zine, smaller than the last one perhaps, dimension-wise, so there's going to be some serious restrictions about the content submissions. Got to think this one out more. Nothing happening yet, just thought I'd throw that traffic jam vision out there... but that said, who's in? Can I get a witness?

Here are some crappy photos (why don't I ever take pictures during the considerable part of the day where there is natural light in the room?) of two wall thingies in my office, one of them a cork board collage, and the other a shadow-box, of things typospherian. Surely some of you mail art types have something similar, yet vastly superior, to share.

Er, you're smokin' hot. With respect, of course. Just couldn't resist.

micro type sounds great. I'm in. I might try something super micro. Ultra micro. Mini type.

Richard P said...

I'd love to participate. Your example is inspiring.

Ryan Adney said...

Creative. I think that it's a great idea! I'm in! The problem, of course, is what to write. Hmmmmmm......

ooh I have that 16-pitch art gothic noiseless that's perfect for this! I'll bring it to the next type-in (hopefully in Olympia) for others to use.

wordrebel said...

I'm in!!!! I'm usually long winded so this will be a great exercise!

Ted said...

Short missives are what I do best (I guess that's why I'm only very prolific via my blog) :D

mpclemens said...

I knew you couldn't stay away for long. :-) I'm in.

Cheryl is now the Brett Favre of type-zine retirement. Only with more typographical awesomeness, I mean. And less Wrangler-Commercialish, Pervo-photographical weirdness.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

deek said...

You had me at "My idea..." I would certainly love to explore this micro-type-collage medium.

Joe V said...

I'm in for the challenge of not appearing too long-winded. Sounds fun.

PS: Word ver: "undipecr". Kinda sounds dirty.

What a great idea to come to you in a traffic jam.

Mike Speegle said...

Hooray! I had hoped that Silent Type was not dead. I am so very in.

Can't wait to hear the submission details.

Silent Type Lives!

I'm in I'm in I'm in!! I never managed to get anything written for the first two, but this, this sounds awesome!!!

Ryan said...

Oh yes.

ScottE said...

This may be the most brilliant blog ever. And I read some brilliant blogs.

Manual typewriter enthusiasm! Totally relevant to my internets...

I knew I could rope you guys into this scheme! Note that Misters Ryan Adney and Abraham Schechter have already dabbled in the post-it form in Silent Type 2 (see the PDF on my site for evidence) and surely it was their work somewhere in the back of my mind that inspired this idea.

Word verif: sconad

Some sort of unsavory mix of baked goods and family jewels...

Strikethru said...

And, Duffy Moon. Ha!

Carolee said...

may I contribute?

DJ Frederick said...

I'm totally psyched to read this issue when it is published!

Strikethru said...

Carolee, absolutely. And DJ, hope that you'll like this issue (when and if I ever get it out the door!)
