Last Sunday I was asked to be interviewed by CBC Radio’s North By Northwest show hosted by Sheryl McKay to talk about Jim Rimmer. Needless to say, I was extremely honored and was happy to stop by.

A tribute to Jim RimmerPosted by: ryan @ 9:12 pm in blog news, people |
Who is Jim Rimmer? Jim Rimmer was a typographer, letterpress printer and my best friend. I met him for the first time in Spring of 2004 when I was seeking some advice on letterpress printing techniques. That fall I arrived at his home in New Westminster, BC. I remember walking down the gravel path to the side of his house and peering into a very dusty window. In the back of his dimly lit shop, I could scarcely make out the silhouette of a person working on a large iron machine. Excitedly, I knocked on the glass pane door where I was warmly greeted and invited in.
