Mixing ink is always a fun part of my day. I always have to do it right by the window so I get plenty of natural light. I never, ever mix ink after the sun goes down – twice in the past I had to scrap entire wedding invitation sets when I woke up the [...]

This nice ink color seems perfect for Easter weekend. I mixed this blue with opaque white, reflex blue and a tiny bit of yellow. You can find some more photos of this job here. Hope you have a great weekend. I’m ignoring the weather forecast and having 15 people over for a bbq. We’ll see [...]

I was mixing inks this weekend to make a coral color for a business card job. It reminded me so much of those great Salt Water Taffy places on the Ocean City boardwalk. I can almost hear the seagulls…

I’m having a nice mellow day at work, listening to a lot of Radiohead and printing some orders for Brooklyn Social Cards. Breck and I have a running experiment to find the perfect working music, but it seems to change depending on what kind of job I’m printing and how close I am to my [...]
