http://cavegallery.net/ The mighty machine looks good in any form. Here it is in a painting — shown at “C.A.V.E GALLERY”, in Venice. A friend of mine who knows my predilection was out & about this weekend and sent this to me. I have to admit, I get a shiver of pleasure every time I see the typewriter…
I had a delightful morning yesterday when BRIAN KORBEL, a friend of Vin’s whom I’d met at a party we gave a few months ago, came over with his wife and granddaughter GEORGIE. They showed up with not one but THREE typewriters Brian had saved — including the very first he owned, that he was…
There aren’t very many places to buy holiday cards anymore, much less boxes of stationery. I love Papryus products … and buy them whenever I can. Now I love the chain even more, after seeing the picture of a typewriter in the window in Century City/Westfield Mall. We were walking around after dinner tonight —…

Justin’s got youth, good looks and talent — and something I covet. He’s the proud owner of a portable typewriter he takes on the road when he travels. We made a pledge when I visited him at his office in New York — and he let me bang on the keys — that we’d only…
Click to see Typo Writer Stories video on YouTube LOUISE MARLER, my friend who’s a ‘typewriter artist’, is doing a series of video pieces about people who love their typewriters. She drafted me as her first candidate. She and her Director of Photography came to the house and tracked me as I talked, typed, and…
For the Gen-X’ers who have never seen a typewriter, let alone changed a ribbon, it can be a bit of a shock. I remember when Jamie had some girlfriends visiting from Rhode Island School of Design. They were headed out to a club — all dressed up in 5-inch heels and absurdly short skirts —…
Darlene got me a birthday present months ago, when she was visiting The Tenement Museum in New York. She said she spied it in a dark corner of the gift shop and swept in to buy it. It’s made of keyboard keys — we think from a computer, perhaps, like a Nexus/Lexis kind of thing…
