The colour of obsession
I’m in NYC this weekend! Tons of photos and stories to follow if I ever get my electicity/chargers/wireless/access/card reader/cables act together.
But for now, an anecdote just for Jess, if she’s reading:
I was walking back to the subway after a slightly awkward Lindy Hop party with some friends last night, and we passed a very serious looking Colour Management Centre, which I gather is like one very specialized component of the printing process, extracted and given its own storefront because this is New York, and there’s a demand for this kind of thing here.
Print shop storefronts aren’t generally terribly interesting to look at, so I wasn’t paying much attention. But it was about 1am, and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed one guy, still at work, studying the details of a poster with the intense concentration of a neurosurgeon. His T-shirt said:
“Phantom Of The Okra”
File that one beside the Magnetic Field’s use of “Pantone 292″ in their song, Reno Dakota. I love me a good colour joke.
