Now obviously I’m not a copy-writer, and I certainly hope our wedding this coming June does not catch fire, but I’m more than proud to announce that our wedding invites have made their way onto the Studio on Fire blog – Beast Pieces! I decided I am so proud that I’d attempt a little cross-blog-pollination by posting our invites to this blog as well! (photos courtesy of Studio on Fire) Now you can get all the printing details at Beast Pieces for yourself, but I’ll mention that this job was described to me as a “nightmare on press” for it’s registration demands and large areas of solid colour. Good thing we had nothing but faith in the talented staff at Studio on Fire, and now, nothing but praise!
I need it, I want it, I have to have it! There is no doubt that Jessica Hische has created some beautiful work, but her limited edition Letterpress Drop Cap print might be my favourite so far. If I wasn’t saving every spare penny for my friend’s wedding in Hawaii, I would be ordering her limited edition print this second. This has definitely made my wish list and I’m crossing my fingers that there will still be one left for me to buy in April. (Photos courtesy of Jessica’s website.)
I came across the work of Mikey Burton earlier today. What I like about him is that his design is well-crafted and conceptual. Also, I’m a huge sucker for an attractive gig poster.
Although I have only used a small Craftsmen table-top letterpress once before, the charm of the letterpress is absolutely irresistible. Repeat Press from Somerville, MA has posted this fantastic little video documenting the production of their custom coasters for the holiday season. Anyone else want a Scotch?
