March 8 Typographic Animals

Artist Marcus Fischer makes illustration style work which includes type selected by weight and shape to make edges and shading. So it's a hand- machine- hybrid. His subject for this show is animals. Fits perfectly with Portland's type foundring and letter press obsessions. Could be a good exercise of find the letter with a magnifying lens for childen as well as being pleasing for adults. Fischer is a sound artist, musician and photographer too. At Black Wagon blackwagon.com 3964 N Mississippi Map 5PM-7
