If you've ever been to Shakespeare and Company in Paris, you'll recognize this as the little cubby they have upstairs, where you can use the old typewriter (the "s" doesn't work FYI) to write messages on scrap pieces of paper, that you then pin to the wall. The place is amazing. Its right across from Notre Dame in the Latin Quarter. Its like Olivander's Wand Shop but for books.

I'm always a sucker for an old typewriter. Well captured.

Thank you. This is actually from a place in Paris called Shakespeare and Company, a badass book shop if I ever saw one. They have this little nook upstairs with this typewriter, and the idea is to wrote notes/messages on scrap paper and leave them there pinned up. I love this place a great deal.

this reminds me of paul pope...then i saw that you got to work with him for three weeks..!

Yeah, its strange. I've never had the desire to ink like Paul, but he's the one that showed me how to use a brush and I think some of it rubbed off. I just let loose with this one and didn't really focus on it. My actual comic book work bares little resemblance to this.

Any chance they can print an 11" Macbook Air skin, or should I get the 13" and trim?

I think you'd have to trim down if there isn't a full on Air skin.
