    I know you've uploaded photographs when in my contacts I see printed matter, pizza, and a lockup.

    The aqua and red orange are such a throw back, this looks fantastic.

    Thanks guys.

    This is definitely not the first time I've used the red/blue overprint, but it just seemed so fitting for a film about American wood type.

    The question about getting one of these is interesting… This batch was made to be sold at an event to benefit the film, but the ink wasn't dry enough to ship them when I would have had to. I'm still sending them to the Kartemquin folks though, and they'll either sell them on their site or at another event.

    I'm probably going to do another bigger run that I'll spend more time on for a benefit they have coming up this month. I'd like to work on the impression (without totally eliminating the imperfections), and include more info about the movie (billing block, tagline, etc).

    I'm sure you'll see any new related work here in the future.

    mmmm. lovely.

    you should make promotional bumper stickers that say "Typographers do it with their faces."

    Funny that color combo was one of my favorites when i was an oil painter, Cadmium red and dark cyan. awesome.
