Ben Franklin ‘can do’
Click the image to read Maira Kalman’s ode to Franklin . . . .
Benjamin Franklin was fun. So much fun, the International Printing Museum has on staff the incredible Phil Soinski.
Soinski portrays Franklin as part of their educational services; and does such a fantastic job, I learned more about Hot Type in one hour with ‘Ben’ than reading thru whatever pile of type books are currently stacked on my desk. Drop by the museum, set up a tour, take a class – their programs, their dedication to the craft of printing can be contagious.
And illustrator Maira Kalman gives us a bunch of really cool things to know about ultramegasuperinventor Ben Franklin in yesterday’s New York Times . . . .
