    Craig, I must ask. Why do you have an image of a cat trapped under a toilet seat as your Gravatar?

    Yes, the secret is waiting a long time for the post to ‘take’. I went off to feed the fish and then it worked.

    Still doesn’t work for me unless I do a screen capture and save as a jpg.

    Damn, I was just going to go and do the bat one ;-)

    Hah! Too slow ;-)

    Well, er, hard to stop, innit?

    I'm waiting for Russell to say, "Stop! Stop!" :-)

  • Ian Dalziel,

    he’s a brick…
    <reposted from Vanilla Buffalo thread
    - ‘cos I thought this one said ’Now Closed">

    Now that this post-Sumerian clay-based ’font’ exists
    would it be possible to make it available as a font to buy
    which might then give Blair some small extra return on
    what looks like a lot of creative work…
    and I’m sure it would be of interest to a lot of type lovers
    worldwide – a font created by an earthquake – I’d love to
    see it mentioned on boing boing and in wired and other places…
    I mean how many fonts have come out of Chchch?
    This would put Mr Parkes up there with that florid font from Strategy for the Chchch Art Gallery* and maybe Max Hailstone – but he was from the UK and mostly taught about type at Ilam. oh and Paul Russell and maybe a few others, but not many…
    Any way I’m all for any initiatives that give Blair more of a profile
    - he is a very multi-talented creator.

    *oh, hang on that was by UK based designer Jeremy Tankard – don’t think he’s a kiwi…

  • Russell Brown,

    It's a bleedin' mystery!

    I had to check in case there was some solemn reason for the thread closing, but there doesn't seem to be.

    I did delete an entry in questionable taste, so perhaps that did something.

    Anyway, carry on!

    Like Ian, I'd welcome the opportunity to remunerate Blair for his talent. Especially since I cheekily used it on my Gravatar, and hope to use it on a t-shirt. Some sort of pennies per brick scheme, with a top-up for bricklayers in Christchurch?

    Totally hearing you -- more so given that another scheme that was intended to give Blair a return for this project has fallen bloody over.

    I've asked Blair whether he has a Paypal or anything. Stay tuned.

    See above, I had a very cunning plan for that, which has died for reasons beyond my control. I'm a bit gutted about it. But we will prevail.
