Origami Express

Origami Express, a business partnership between Kurt Vonnegut and Joe Petro III, with headquarters in Joe's painting and silk-screening studio in Lexington, Kentucky. Kurt paints or draw pictures, and Joe makes prints of some of them, one by one, color by color, by means of the time-consuming, archaic silk screen process, practiced by almost nobody else any more: squeegeeing inks through cloths and onto paper. This process so painstaking and tactile, almost balletic, that each print Joe makes is a painting in its own right.

Origami Express, is Kurt's tribute to the many-layered packages Joe makes for prints he sends for Kurt to sign and number.
