About the "A"
Let me introduce myself, I’m Alana, the A of Capital A. I have two feral boys who absorb most of my energy and sanity, but I keep them anyhow. I used to have a screen printing studio and do gig posters in the 00's. We made posters for Explosions in the Sky, Andrew Bird, Jens Lekman, Calexico... and on and on. After having kids I put my art on the shelf literally.
I worked in tech for the next 15 years until recently taking a break to do design and product consulting and work for myself. After leaving my day job, my first stop was to an open studio print workshop at Typesetters Local where I absolutely fell in love with letterpress printing. But more importantly, I began to make art again and do something creative that doesn't involve digital anything. And that has been healing.
So far I’ve acquired a sign press and enough wood type to make a few things and gotten my screen printing supplies back off the shelf. I hope I have the guts and energy to make this venture last. 😭🤞 love you, and thanks for the support 🥰
