Welcome to TheArtPile
TheArtPile
The original idea for this site went nowhere. For whatever reason e-commerce for artists was an idea that never went anywhere. I put together some good technology and everything worked, but nobody signed up for the services. Oh well. The pages still exist here but I am moving on.
Letterpress and Digital Arts
LeadsAndSlugs.com/store - online store (almost finished) selling letterpress printed pieces and digital prints. We hope to be selling lead type and ornaments soon.
LeadsAndSlugs.com/blog - articles and resources around the topics of letterpress and digital imaging.
Photopolymer relief plates - upload your files and send instructions and I will make plates for you.
Our work in letterpress happens mainly through the Printing and Book Arts Center at the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education in Rochester, New York.
Web Sites
I have been working on web sites from the very beginning--since 1994. For 12 years I worked full time as a webmaster for Corporate America. After becoming independent (after I was laid-off) I have built or rebuilt a few web sites and provide ongoing development and maintenance for several serious commercial web sites.
I am always looking for the next opportunity to do more web sites for local businesses, non-profits, artists and bloggers.
Digital Imaging & Desktop Publishing
Typesetting for book projects, periodicals and self-publishers.
High resolution color scanning of original images of any size and film up to 8 x 10. Color correction and retouching/restoration.
Digital printing (Giclée/Inkjet) with top quality photo output on a variety of papers with sizes up to 13" x 19".
Contact me if I can help with your project.
ePub and Kindle formatting
ePub and Kindle formatting of books and other long format publications.
I have been working in this medium for a while now and can handle complex formatting of type and images for most electronic readers. Features include color images (for color ePub readers such as the iBooks reader for Apple iPad), full table of contents, footnotes/end notes, and the cover.
I have formatted (and BOA has published) several BOA Editions titles for the Kindle with more to come.
