P.S. -- as far as what 'typing' on a stencil means, so most text work that you'd make copies of was done using a typewriter if not by hand. (dot matrix printers also work for this)

How you'd do this is that on nearly all manual typewriters, you can toggle from one color to a second (usually red, if that was on your ribbon) with a dedicated lever, but there was also a dedicated middle slot you could set it in that didn't use the ink ribbon and instead just slammed the keys directly onto your stencil paper -- this would remove the waxy coating so that you would get a stencil for a document you could reproduce!

CW: abstracted blood and eyes

Here is more of my reposted art. this was a little sketch from earlier this year on bsky i am still super hyped about -- i screenprinted this ugly thing on construction piece using a fax machine, of all things, to make the stencil! well, the brother (sister) fax-575 (she is transfem) ate up a lot more of the riso stencil than i wanted, giving it a crude look, but its an exciting home printing proof of concept that isn't too new. I love ghettomimeo so much

it was the same equipment i used to make this piece, 'Birthday Girl'. It's called Birthday Girl? I guess it is now. I will be potentially disassembling my fax 😳 since its not in its best shape after Birthday Girl, to see if i can salvage the thermal print head and use it as a 'thermal wand' of some sorts to freely image anywhere with an outlet.

Cross posting from tumblr on wafrn bc tumblr is a bitch that is not on the fediverse yet and I don't know if i can retroactively post from bluesky. anyhow here is some transgender ass art

i made this with a fax machine to 'ink' the pencil drawing i did, fed through the copier section onto cardstock. it fucked up the fax machine but it was worth it. enjoy genders

I couldn't get a ceramic 6502 (well I could, but not willing to spend thousands on one) but did get a nice ceramic 6820 PIA for under $20. #mimeo #apple1 #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer

I'm proud to say I used a mimeograph in the distant past. The smell of the solvent is scintillating in my memory.

News in the #artistsbooks blog! A slightly sweet smell emanates from the new article... 🚬 The @bsbmuenchen now has all published issues of a famous US Art Magazine published by #EdSanders in the 1960's charmingly titled "F*** You".

„I’m delighted to hear of your purchase of such an interesting and significant magazine“ (Oliver Harris, Professor of American Literature Keele University)

FUCK YOU – Magazine of the Arts: Extrem rare Beatnik-Flowerpower und ein bisschen LSD für die Libri Selecti

Über neu erworbene Künstlerpublikationen zu schreiben ist ja meistens schön. Weniger, wenn es sich dabei um Zeitschriften handelt, denn irgendwie springt da schwieriger der Funke zum Lesenden über. Ja, ein außergewöhnliches Unikat, ein skandalöses...
