I really loved working on this winter invitation. The envelopes are a gorgeous and festive red, but my favorite part is the blind border on each piece. I used 100% cotton paper and a very soft typan to get the maximum impression.

korhogo 126
Posted in Brooklyn, Letterpress on August 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The delicious Bouillabaisse 126 here in Brooklyn is reopening in mid-September as French African style restaurant, Korhogo 126. The logo is somewhat similar but we’ve changed paper/color scheme.
Because it’s a harder cover stock, this marigold Rossler paper was a little tricky at first. Unlike a 100% cotton paper, there isn’t a lot of [...]
rounding corners

One option for stationery finishing is to have the corners rounded. But as with any project, using the right tool makes all the difference. If you think you’ll be doing a lot of rounding it’s probably worth investing in a good machine. I use a manual lever-operated rounder. It is set [...]

Our favorite press rigger Diego (striking a serious pose here) came by on Wednesday with a new addition to the studio, a beautifully restored C&P press for my studiomate Breck. Diego worked as a mechanical engineer in a large print shop before becoming a machine mover some [...]

A lot of people struggle over whether or not to include a website address on their wedding invitation. On one hand it can look slightly out of place, but on the other is rather necessary these days. I love this solution – a small, separate enclosure card. Very sweet and it gets [...]
obi calendar

Hooray…now that August is here I’m starting work on my latest pet project, a 2008 calendar in all neutrals. Even though I love experimenting with different colors, I’ll admit that my favorite style is minimalist – in both graphics and inks.

Whew, just back today after a much needed getaway. I had a chance to escape to europe for 8 days, with a nice mix of city and country in france and england. I’m truly inspired, what a fantastic experience. I’ll be back on track this coming week with photography and starting the [...]
