Here are some fancy pics of a fancy postcard we recently printed on the letterpress in our garage. The excellent thick and recycled paper scraps we printed on were provided to us years ago as leftovers from a Stella Marrs printing, so these were basically free to make (hours of labor donated by yours truly). One goes out in every paid order, we have a few hundred left, so it’ll last a few more weeks. Thanks a million to Richard Olmstead for his original art.
thx for the kind words. the hardest part of letterpress printing is getting a press in good working order. once you do that, the printing is pretty simple, especially if you use polymer plates, as we do. if you eve get a press feel free to get in touch for pointers.
fyi, we had a rather large uptick in sending orders out, and as of today, we’re all out of postacrds. i know, it’s a sad story.
Absolutely beautiful. If this was printed on t-shirts, I would buy two.
Not even kidding.
god, now I want one
hey! I just heard the new book was out and stumbled upon this . shit. and i just read, that you’re all out…
I dont suppose anyone thought to set one aside for me huh?
richard, of course we did buddy! drop me an email and we’ll hook it up.
ok, i couldnt find an email on here, but I sent something to what i thought was your address but got no response,
but since i know you check this,
