Upside Down, Left To Right

I must admit I have a weakness for letterpress related films. And even though this subtile short film by Danny Cooke have been featured on the various blogs and was circulating on twitter the last few days I felt the urge to (re)post it as well. Well, because it can never be too much;)
"A short film about letterpress and one of the few remaining movable-type printing workshops in the UK, situated at Plymouth University, featuring Paul Collier."

Day & Night

Valentine's day is coming, a day to give extra attention to your beloved one. Designer Kyle Kargov came up with an original gift - a silkscreened and letterpressed poster (25x25cm) using glow in the dark ink (printed by Mama's Sauce). Absolutely love the idea! (unfortunately sold out by now).

73 letterpress

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!
