I'm a 50 year old amateur letterpress printer, etcher, and printmaker. The main outlet for my hobby is my shop and studio, the Front Room Press. This is a traditional private press founded in September 2007. I print pamphlets, labels, cards, handbills, broadsides, &tc. using hand-set type and cuts and traditional methods. I have a blog here:

More recently I've discovered etching and printmaking and am spending a lot of time learning how to draw, etch, and use my etching press. To keep my etching activities separate I've started another blog at:

thebittenline.blogspot.com

Please visit my websites to learn more. In addition to process and expressing myself in these mediums, I've very interested in their history. My posts regularly cover all of these areas.
