a rainy day for the guillotine

A wet day here in new york city. I had a bunch of cutting to do for four calling card jobs I plan to print later in the week (as soon as plates arrive). I remember back in the day, before I had access to Breck's paper cutter around the corner. I used to cut stacks of cardstock on a small, not-so-accurate cutting board. I had multiple heart attacks over the coarse of the year, never able to predict when a stack would get eaten by an inaccurate cut. Vive la france!

Here are some shots of the guillotine tape measure, some paper and a very wet washington street.
