Comment by Amy Candiotti on February 4, 2024 at 11:26pm: We bought the phone at a yard sale where it was being sold by the artist, John Rizzotto. http://johnrizzotto.com/portfolio.html

His paintings are amazing.

Comment by William M on February 4, 2024 at 8:37am: isn't the telephone fantastic? someone made it or decorated it for her. i forget now what amy had said exactly.

kiki, i had a feeling you'd have had a gocco machine at one time. i know they were really popular in japan for a long time.

not quite a collaboration zac, but definitely working together(or at the same time) printing our screens.

Comment by Kiki on February 4, 2024 at 8:08am: It looks like you two had a wonderful time! I used to have Print Gocco from Japan, when I was a child, like 35 years ago :-)

Comment by Zack on February 4, 2024 at 7:29am: fantastic! in person collaboration, no less!
