For a recent valentine's greeting card (sold only at East Simpson Coffee) I used some wood type from my modest collection. Sometimes, I get away from my roots of printing just for the heck of it as I get too caught up in the business of printing. Boooo!But for this 3 color greeting card I let the type do the talking.

It's been a minute since I have had the chance — and motivation — and right weather and lighting conditions to update the portfolio portion of the website. While I'm about 2/3 complete with adding all of the projects I'm super happy with the way things are turning out. It's a trip down memory lane revisiting all of the projects I've worked on over the last several months. There's a wide range of custom letterpress projects from existing and new clients and a bunch of "just for fun" and limited edition works added too.

Letterpress printing is still the ultimate way to showcase your brand or company. VOCO is "a marketing agency made up of spirited pragmatists, witty strategists and results-obsessed pros with a straightforward, savvy, and sustainable outlook on business and life." It was an honor to print these simply elegant letterpress stationery cards for VOCO. We printed on heavy duty — but still very dreamy — Lettra 220lb. This is one of the thickest cards available and it's sturdy and stands in a class all on its own. This is exactly how you want to relay your brand and standards.
