Amazing Human Printer

The Human Printer, founded by Louise Naunton Morgan, is a group of artists who uses markers to emulate the printing process. The group reproduces photos by painstakingly printing images by hand - dot by dot, in CMYK or B&W to recreate the halftone printing effect of conventional printers.

As explained on the site, The Human Printer assumes the role of the machine and is therefore controlled and restricted by the process of using CMYK halftone created on the computer. The site even goes as far as to list other Human Printer "models," providing a short description of each one's particular printing style and character traits.

The Renaissance Faire

The Renaissance Faire started in 1963 in Los Angeles when school teacher Phyllis Patterson held a very small version of the faire as a class activity in the backyard of her Laurel Canyon home in the Hollywood Hills. Now, it has become an eagerly awaited-for and extremely successful yearly Los Angeles tradition. After that first manifestation in the backyard, later that same year, Phyllis and her husband presented the first Renaissance Pleasure Faire as a one-weekend fundraiser for radio station KPFK, drawing some 8,000 people. The Patterson family’s company, Theme Events Limited, and its non-profit affiliate, The Living History Center, are generally credited with developing the Renaissance Faire concept as it exists today, with “Maying” customs and partaking of rich lore and age-old English springtime markets. There are now over 100 independently owned and operated Renaissance Faires throughout the United States and Canada.
