WORKHORSE PRINTMAKERS: AN EVENING of LETTERPRESS
Last Thursday I was invited to the new studio belonging to our friends Jennifer Blanco and John Earles at Workhorse Printmakers for an AIGA student workshop: AN EVENING of LETTERPRESS. They were lovely hosts and provided a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide us through the process — even for an apprehensive letterpresser like myself. Here’s a...

It’s going to be held at Ctrl + Art + Create on Saturday, November 5, 2011, from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m at the Heights Theater. I’ll have prêt-à-porter stamps for teachers and people who like to use stamps...
AND YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH THEM
“These Cards Are Beautiful, and You Will Be Pleased with Them.” That’s some good, old-fashioned, honest-as-hell advertising. VIA DUKE’S COLLECTION FOR THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS: .
ART FOR JOPLIN.
Art for Joplin is an initiative by Moosylvania to hand-print a limited edition set of numbered screen prints, donating 100% of the proceeds to benefit relief for the tornado-ravaged Joplin, Missouri. I bought the print above, Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Lynn Ullman. In the superfuture, this will end up in baby OCONN’s* room, til...
FEATURED ON FPO: For Print Only
Hell yes. Thanks to our wonderful designers at Product Superior and letterpress printers at Workhorse Prints, Jennifer and John, our wedding invitations and program were featured on FPO (For Print Only) today. A lot of FPO readers complain that they showcase too many wedding invitations, obviously I’m not one of them – I think the invitation and...

METHOD & CRAFT | OLD IS THE NEW NEW
“Hand-painted letters and signs grab our attention because despite our love for technology, many of us are clinging to the nostalgia of those whose footsteps we follow in: craftsmen, artisans of style, purveyors of a trade and a highly sought-after hand-skill.”–Simon Walker via Method & Craft | Old is the New New.
OH MY GOD, IT EVEN HAS A WATERMARK.
I view myself as a badass, like if I see an Angelia Joile movie I think “we have a lot in common”. Well, true or not, I definitely appreciate the work and identities of other badasses. People like these people featured in the materials below. This morning Refinery29 has a story and slideshow of 20...

HOOD GREETIN’.
It’s awfully handy to have various carparts at your disposal, especially when I got the idea that I wanted to paint a welcome sign and menu for the wedding. I thought it would be pretty bad ass to use a car hood, and luckily Steven’s dad aka Crazy Mike let us pull the hood from...
AD VITAM.
AD VITAM is the Latin translation of “FOR LIFE” …and it quickly became mine and Steven’s mantra soon after we got engaged. For me, marriage isn’t about soulmates (which I don’t believe in) or love at first sight, and I most definitely do not give any god or deity credit for our partnership. We’ve made...
