Ian Coyle, a designer and creative director living in Portland, Oregon, decided to print his daily thoughts for 73 straight days. "Some were random, some pertinent, it was a great way to end each day." Printed on 1950's Asbern Proof Press using newsprint and wood type. Some of them sound as New Year's resolutions to me.
Enjoy the collection of 73 letterpress thoughts!

After getting a set of metal type as a gift from a friend, Ishac Bertran decided to build a small printing press uisng only leftover materials from past experiments. Even though it is not accurate when printing it is very cute and is probably the smallest letterpress printing equipment ever made;)
