A roommate of mine had an art book of these wonderful Polaroid collages that David Hockney was making back in the 80's, and I have always loved them. ]]> Fri, 12 Jun 2026 23:35:38 Z Signal (Art) box https://mltshp.com/p/1RRIG https://mltshp.com/p/1RRIG Photographic print left in a secret but public art box.

Finally left some prints and a couple of copies of a book in a funny little anonymous art box we have in the town, which my friend made.

]]> Sun, 14 Jun 2026 03:46:01 Z Thinking of California Sun... https://mltshp.com/p/1RRHA https://mltshp.com/p/1RRHA A large collage of Polaroid photographs of swimmers in a pool. The text at the bottom of the poster reads: In Color: Ten California Photographers. The Oakland Museum Oakland, Cal. May 21-July 17, 1983. The show, like the moments captured, was apparently fleeting, but the serene blue of the waters lasts in the mind.

This signed Hockney print of "Ian Swimming, Los Angeles, 1982" was recently donated to the art collection at my wife's employer. I always loved his Polaroid constructions and this one has a lovely, serene motion timelapse feel to it. Perfect for a summer's afternoon. ]]> Sat, 13 Jun 2026 15:17:43 Z you really don't need this but in case you do... https://mltshp.com/p/1RRI0 https://mltshp.com/p/1RRI0 Screenshot of some font samples, including the classic Mac system font Chicago, here called "Chicago15", used for all menus, window bar titles, system messages, and so on for Mac systems 1-7.5. There is "Chicago30", which is a 2x upscale from Chicago15. Below them are "Monaco11" and "Monaco15", the sans-serif monospace font which has been a default system font from the very first Mac through today, over 40 years later, albeit looking very different due to how much the technology has changed.

...a kind soul has made the effort of compiling various dumps people have made of old Macintosh system fonts (and other user-inaccessible fonts, such as "eWorld Tight 18"!), including bitmap and early OpenType fonts, and released them as uniform FontFactory and Truetype files.

There are hundreds of fonts and variations here. In the days before live onscreen vector graphics each size had to be drawn separately, so they look different in ways you can't replicate just by up/downscaling one font.

He is carrying a gun.

He was working on a series about shadows when he looked over, and saw this. Lolly has since passed on, leaving this farewell image.

Tony Hertz and Lolly were living in Pismo Beach, California, when he took this shot. At the time he was working on a photography series and book based around shadows, and he had taken her along on one of his regular sunset walks.

On Beach Road in Vineyard Haven.

The first time Andrea and I stopped in I said; I know I’m not the first to ask but “Althea” like Jerry Garcia..?

-No, like reggae…

Uptown, I interrupted..?

-Top Reggae

She finished.

She is one of the good ones. Mostly works in Lino. This is her first painting in a long time. She was visibly energized by the process.

He doesn't have a hat on, but he doesn't have any hair either.
