Orson Welles liked generalists

I've always felt creative professionals should follow both their hearts and minds. Most everybody is interested in other disciplines, so it's only natural to be tempted to test the waters. If a designer wants to move into another area, say photo or writing, I would encourage it -- some of the best work is the result of a fresh perspective.

Favorite feature

Again, history, graphics, humor brought together in entertaining, perceptive Gable style!

Wonderful

I never miss Gene's excellent column -- always eerily in line with my own tastes and acquistions... I've recently been scanning and retouching insurance sales filmstrips from mid-50s! Thanks, Barry

Gene Rocks

Mr. Gable, your columns always cheer me up. Not only is the content observant, charming and funny, but also the best best best of information about the history of printing and design, my very favorite subject. thanks, Barry Moores

Gable is my favorite industry columnist -- I'm obsessed with the history of printing technology et al. It's great to learn more about the industry and always cool to learn more about what Gene's been into.

great fun
