There’s a slight smell of sulphur ever-present here in Serrazzano, and I used this as inspiration for my first printing experiment last week. By chance, there was a very sulphuric yellow at the ready.
Today, in a mad dash to the finish line, keen to print with some of the luscious very large wood type, I extended the elemental theme and made a helium poster.

I want to suggest you change…
I want to suggest you change your capitalizing ways with the "e" in "He". In the periodic table, "He" is per international agreement the "symbol" for helium. I think "HE" yields you a different symbol even at the smaller size you print the "E." To my eyes it's less symbolizing helium than symbolically drawing a mustache on the symbol for helium.
