D is for Death





In a Halloween mood, I tried to google up my favorite macabre illustrator name and came up with twentysixtinytombstones. A blog, filled with Edward Gorey's tribute, particularly to his work The Gashlycrumb Tinies (1963). The book itself is filled with alphabet and its accordingly name of objects in pictures, but instead of apples and zebras, we will find children's names starting with each alphabet and their deathly fate.



At twenty sixtiny tombstones, illustrator Patricio Oliver invited his artist /illustrator friends to re-enact any alphabet from the book, it doesn't even matter if one alphabet done numerous times or the artist change the kid's name and how he meet his ill fate. Sounds fun? Go visit or maybe submit your own!

  8. The operation begins by placing the prepared material stack or board between the platens. For hot pressing, painting machines set the desired temperature, pressure, and pressing duration according to the adhesive and material specifications. The hydraulic system applies uniform force, pressing the layers together while the heat activates the adhesive. In cold pressing, only the pressure is applied for a specific duration to achieve bonding. Modern presses often feature programmable logic controllers (PLC) to automate the process, control multiple pressing cycles, and log data for quality assurance.
