The Roadworks event is always interesting. Aside from the opportunity to watch a huge and classic Buffalo Springfield steamroller 'press' a 3 foot square blockprint onto paper right in the middle of Rhode Island Street, the event offers a chance to meet printmakers and purchase prints.
Here are a few snaps from the day.
Inking a 3 foot square block
After the print was made, printing assistants hung the prints on nearby fencing. Here is a great Godzilla-destroys-San Francisco print by Eric Rewitzer.

A beautifully abstracted piece by Luz Marina Ruiz.
Here are a couple more Godzilla pieces from Eric Rewitzer's booth.
Inside the Center for the Book you can check out the fine collection of operational presses.
This one, a Reliance Midget, used to belong to printer Arlin Philpott, our Fairfaxian neighbor.
There were few more large prints from past events on display inside.
