We caught up with printmaker Paul Vincent Bernard in his Poor Yorick studio a couple days after he returned from Fresno, California with his new floor-model lithography press. He found it on eBay and braved California gas prices to drive it back to Salt Lake because it will allow him to print his large lithography work more easily. He will be keeping his old press for monotype prints and for printing etching and relief prints; which means he will have to do some careful rearranging to fit both in his studio, which is already packed with art, supplies, books, wine, a stereo, a computer, and some curious odds and ends.
