Today I met Charles, winner of the framed print of “Strum” from my random drawing following the Tiburon Art Festival.
We met at his office at Prepress, Inc., in San Francisco (SOMA). Prepress is awesome. In fact, all day, I haven’t stopped talking about how cool the place is. Charles gave me a tour (I love tours) and I got to see all kinds of equipment–lights, computers, drum scanners, offset printing equipment, an industrial-looking sewing machine (for certain binding jobs), a digital photography studio, and all sorts of other things. He also showed me books and catalogs they have printed, as well as books and other work in production. Art books, memoirs, novels, catalogs, all with amazing color. I kind of want to camp out at Prepress sometime and watch everyone work and see the machines in action. I bet they’d think that was really weird, but I think it would be fascinating.
After the tour, Charles took me over to a new coffee place on 7th St. near Folsom called Sightglass. The cafe section is still under construction, but they’re serving coffee next door. Go there.
