This video is so cool – from Hatch Show Print in Nashville – I have to visit here someday. Very inspirational and I see the Vandercook press I’ve been using!
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but again, this book is highly recommended!

New Prints :: Music is My Life
I’m happy to announce that I have new prints in my shop! “Music is My Life.” I’ve been wanting to make this for a while, inspired by this song that I like. I admire people who are passionate about music, who live with music… if you can say that Music is your life, that is so awesome!
It’s only limited to 41 prints and I only printed in black. Available here! It makes a great gift to your music lover boyfriends, girlfriends, family and friends.
Typography Prints
Continue on sharing my inspirations for the letterpress swap print I’m going to make… I love typography and I’ve seen some amazing work by using just types. Definitely want to try something with typography and here are some inspirations.
Type City by Veer – if you haven’t already, you should check it out, everything is designed with just types and it is so awesome!
They had prints for these “type city” series, but no longer available… (it was letterpressed, too!)
This type penguin is great! (first saw at swissmiss)
I like the white on white letters on the background, too. Very cool.
He has more on his website!
I’s for You card – I love this. Simple shape (my favorite) and simple letters. Love red and black, too.
Getting some ideas here… :) More to follow.
Japanese Woodblock Prints
I mentioned that I am participating letterpress swap (check out all the participants! – amazing) and I am brainstorming about my prints for a while now, still not 100% sure which direction I’m going with, but I thought I would share my inspirations here as I work on the prints. I hope it’d be fun for you to take journey with me here, too.
One of the ideas I have is to get inspiration from Japanese woodblock prints so I started gathering some images for possible print ideas and here they are. I always admire the beauty and craftsmanship of the Japanese woodblock arts, they are simply amazing.
Flowers are always nice. Trees and plants are another subjects I’m interested in making prints of.
Simple and beautiful. Love this.
Trees would make a great print, I think.
This is stunning.
P r e t t y.
Love big tree. The presence is always so nice.
I like this Komainu.
w o w, really pretty. This would make a great pattern print.
I’m so excited where this is going to go!! I love typography so I want to incorporate some type designs in the print, too… I’ll post more ideas soon!
