I make promotional materials for artists, performers and anyone else who needs quality 1" & 1.25" round buttons, 1.5" square buttons, and slightly larger pocket mirrors and bottle opener keychains.
When I'm not at the press, I'm doing portraiture, illustration, graphic design, bookbinding and other things. Check out the badbuttons.com site and kateblack.com to see what I'm up to now.

Books
I read constantly and don't update this page often. As of March 6th, the last things I read were Let It Blurt: The Life and Times of Lester Bangs, by Jim DeRogatis, and Manhattan Transfer, by John Dos Passos.
Low Life: The Lures and Snares of Old New York by Luc Sante is one of my all time favorites.
Alright!! What do you think of the New tune?? We're actually playing at this coming Secret Sci meeting on Wednesday night... Exciting!! And I think we need to talk buttons sometime soon....

Planned Parenthood wants to help you Back up your Birth Control!
Emergency Contraception, "the Morning-After Pill," or Plan B, can be taken up to 120 hours after intercourse, but it is most effective if taken within 24 hours. So why not always keep Emergency Contraception on hand and help prevent an unplanned pregnancy?
Emergency Contraception can be purchased at Planned Parenthood at affordable prices and without appointment or prescription for clients 18 and older. EC is available at all three of Planned Parenthood of NYC's health centers.
