Do printers actually break down easily or do we all just remember them that way because our most prominent memories were when they'd start combusting minutes before a deadline

The best part of having printing presses in your living room is sometimes you can just print swear words when you’re having a bad day.

This is from the end of August. Cowboy print was a mini edition of three for some coworkers and the pattern print was for a birthday card plus I’m started a little backlog of abstract bits to mix together. If you’ve followed me for a long time, you might remember me using type as a pattern like this before.

I’m going to be alternating old and new content, because there’s a fair amount of letterpress stuff I never posted to Tumblr. Some of this stuff, including this post I’m not even going to bother editing the pictures. 

This was from last December and was a bereavement gift for a friend. I’ve also given some out as birthday gifts too. Swears are good for all occasions I guess!

Anyway, as you can see it’s always good to proof your type.

One of the copywriters at work collects odd phrases from client calls and we heard a real winner in a meeting on Monday. 

Good enough that I feel motivated to print it! But I decided to make two little linocuts to layer with it, so please stand by for the end result.

Put what I threw on a composing stick the other day into the little Line-O-Scribe since I still don’t have the big presses set up.

Made some dumb mistakes like not proofreading my type before locking it in and not thinking to do hanging quotation marks, but it’s all good.

Next I need to make two little linocuts and then I can figure out the final ink colors and paper.
