my "art supply" inventory
goes all the way back
to when I actually used the stuff
for its intended purpose.

I also still have litho film and developer
in the darkroom
though the "stat" camera
has long been disassembled.

Anyone who wants the few inches
required to tape off a viso ground glass
is welcome to send me a mailing address.

It may still be available
(curious: he googles
"red lithographers tape"
and finds
numerous codes and sources).

Regards,
George Lottermoser
