I printed these business cards for the Brooklyn Flea last week. I love this graphic, perfect for letterpress. The Flea is in full swing Saturdays in Fort Greene and Sundays here in Dumbo – and I can’t wait for this year’s Holiday Market which should be even better than last year.
PS: The Flea submitted this [...]

contest winner!

Lots of good entries, especially the reference to the deck chairs on the Titanic. But I think my favorite was sent in by Jill who mused:
“Going out” now means being outside.
C’mon back next Monday for a new contest with an *awesome* prize. And seriously if you have any ideas for new word games let me [...]

Its Monday again…already! We’re continuing with the six-word story contest today (maybe something different next week). This week’s theme is ‘The Economy’. I know the recession is a droopy subject, but you can be as funny as you like – and the best entry wins these somewhat more cheerful letterpress cards (pack of six). We’ve [...]

I love this invitation from last week. The bride and groom are from New York and London, so the groom designed their invitation to include both skylines bleeding into one. Getting good coverage on this dark plum ink color was a bit of a challenge. I ended up breaking the plate up so I could [...]
business card series

I printed a cool business card job late last week. Typeface enthusiast Jon Tan designed this series for his friends and colleagues, this one for Chris Shiflett. I wonder if I can get him to do one for Gayle?

This was another tough choice. I loved the last entry ‘Reading wedding blogs while at work’ because I realized that any guilty pleasures story could end in ‘while at work’. Close runner up was “Watching weeds while eating Haagen Dazs”…but the winner is:
“Picnic lunch turns into sunset snacks” submitted by thisisunclear. It’s just such a [...]

let’s talk paper

I wonder if we could open up a discussion on a very hot topic…in the world of letterpress that is. What paper do you print on? A few years ago Cranes came out with the Lettra brand specifically for letterpress printers. Its 100% cotton, and incredibly soft and plush. A lot of printers use the [...]

This week I printed some cute birthday party invitations for someone turning 30. She wanted to go with a biking theme, I really like the minimal look she chose.

Thanks again to everyone who participated, I thought the entries were so great. Monday is my new favorite day of the week! Last time I gravitated toward the funnier entries, but this week I was drawn to one that was incredibly clever and poetic. This week’s winner is Laurin who wrote:
“Cheap gin created top-shelf romance.”
