New studio!

Hello, Letterpress Lovers,

It's been a while since last, but to update you all, I've purchased a hobby print shop! This is the print shop of a former Denver Post editor: Mr. Pride. The entire shop included 3 tabletop presses, a full type cabinet, and several inks to get me started. While I have yet to produce anything for sale or professionally, I am excited for the future. I am still in the naming process but have settled on a business name--to be revealed when the logo design is unveiled. Until then, here I am swimming among my new studio.

PUBLICITY

I got a little publicity from the Amalgamated Printer's Association newsletter. It's got lots of pictures of my shop. To see the newsletter, go to:

and click on the March issue.

  I hope everyone's doing well. I know some of you acquired presses but I haven't seen anything you've printed. Come on, share it with us please.

Posters!!

Most of the work I've done in letterpress has been posters for local bands here in Central Arkansas.

I finally dragged my ass and my portfolio over to my photographer's place a couple weeks ago to start getting digital images of my posters done. I didn't get everything but I made a good start. Tale a look at my website and you can see the first batch. The work spans 1999 through the present and I'm still hunting down actual dates and more posters. From now on I will write a date somewhere on everything I do.
