Fortunately, we never found any. I produced a few prints of Spanish Flies . . . When my 30 year old Vandercook SP 15 proofing press was moved from storage, into the new studio, I figured it ought to have a name.
People give cars names and they give ships names.
This machine was an important part of the new studio and it needed a name. Since I was in the middle of printing these Spanish Fly prints and the insect series was on my mind, there seemed to be no other name that was better. Now the press has a first, middle and last name. The prints I make are original prints , not reproductions of a drawing or a painting. That is to say, the prints are images printed from a block, metal plate or stone, which has been engraved, etched or drawn upon by me.
