Letterpress prints for sale
I’ve finished printing, trimming, signing and photographing the two prints I’ve been working on this fall. Both are made using handset wood and lead type from the fabulous collection at MCBA and printed on a Vandercook SP 20 letterpress.
Oh nuts was inspired by Isaac, my peanut. When he was teeny tiny, he would laugh when he heard words with the “sh” sound like pistachio and cashew. We would say one word at a time and he would wait quietly with an expectant grin for an “sh” word, and then he would giggle hysterically.
Oh nuts! 5×7 print available here.
I have loved Shel Silverstein poems for as long as I can remember. My grandma always had a collection of his books on her coffee table. Alphabalance meshes well with a stack of wood type.
Alphabalance 8×10 broadside available here.
