commented on a projectHey Adrienne. I do need to post an update about this very question. And I'll tend to it soon, but let me see if I can begin to answer it here for you. The artwork is slowly trickling in from the artists. I am posting each print as I receive them. Kickstarter only allows me to send one survey out to each group of backers. So when all the prints are posted online I will send out a survey to everyone asking for your address & choice of prints. I'll tally up those numbers and know how many of each design I need to print. Meanwhile the next iteration of the Ink Dial is at the fabricators incorporating the many improvements I dreamt up but couldn't afford to implement in my original Mark 1 design. Couldn't afford, that is until you all helped this Kickstarter succeed! Thanks again.

Posted project update #12“gallico alphabet” by Yvette Rutledge
There are just a handful of puzzle pieces that prompted me to undertake this endeavor and to offer these print rewards. There's a story to tell about where I sit at the dinner table and a Reynolds Stone alphabet staring all day long at a Susan Skarsgard alphabet on the wall opposite.
Another story is about a gift I received from my printing hero Harold McGrath. It was a large print of an alphabet of gothic letterforms with each letter printed in a different color. At least 26 different colors on that press sheet. As always, his work left me wondering "How'd the hell he do that?" A question like that stuck in my mind and as a result over time the Ink Dial was concocted. But that colorful alphabet was etched deep into my memory and so became natural point of departure when I cooked up these rewards.
The artist behind that colorful alphabet was Yvette Rutledge, a lettering artist whose work I knew from my long admiration of the great Pennyroyal Press books of Barry Moser, which Harold had printed. (Find the Pennyroyal Wizard of Oz if nothing else!) It only seemed natural to invite Yvette to join the ranks of the Ink Dial artists and what did I have to lose, right? There's a lot more in life to worry about than hearing back "thanks, but no" right?
No worries were necessary at all in fact. Instead of a "no thanks" I received a long, soulful response with some samples attached. We discovered many overlapping interests: type design, letterpress printing, an earnest affection for the artist Victor Hammer whose work aimed at making usable typefaces out of the uncial styles. Can I express fully just how thrilled I was to know Eve was onboard? No; I still find each and every "yeah, sure, tell me more" completely stupefying.
So I am pleased to post Eve Rutledge's contribution to the selection of prints. Here we have a lovely rainbow roll of her Gallico alphabet. Writes Eve: Inspired by Victor hammer, Gallico began as a writing hand for a trial manuscript page layout of The Snow Goose. It was an effort at a letter style for body copy that would be like an uncial but lean toward fluid cursive characteristics." Someday we may in fact see a digital version of Gallico in our font libraries.

commented on a project updateHi Barbara, I should be more communicative than I have been. Sorry. The pledges most likely have already been collected by Kickstarter. As soon as all the artists have sent me artwork I will post them as I did with Eric Hanson's image above and then issue a survey to all the backers asking for your selections and addresses. Then I print the rewards and send them out. Michael Doret's will be on press soon and after that I hope to get Eric Hanson's & Alan Blackman's. Thanks for your support and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. - Terry
