Put Something In...

Here's a little print we did for the Children's Museum of Denver for their annual Birthday Bash. The theme was inspired by the works of Shel Silverstein. So we selected one of our favorite poems by the man and add a cute little Silverstein-esque drawing to it...that's a cat-bird-bee-duck to be exact. Perfect tiny print for a kid's room. 

Printed Tweets on Twitter

Truthfully, we've never been big fans of Twitter. Nothing wrong with it. It's just a lot to keep up with. So about a year ago we said if we're going to do it, we're going to letterpress our tweets. Slow? Yes. Few and far between? You bet. But totally worth it? Hell's yeah. 

So from time to time we will post a printed tweet. Each one hand-typeset with vintage lead or wood type. Besides being posted to our twitter account, we'll post a few of the prints to our Etsy site.

I Love You As Much As...Card

You know when you're writing an email or some other kind of correspondence and you find yourself saying something like, "I'd loved to get a pumpkin latte" or "We'd love to watch your dog for the long weekend"? Isn't that a bit aggressive for the word love? Well, maybe in the distant past you're about to be living in because this letterpress card will clarify exactly what kind of level of love you got in mind. Find the card/print in our shop and love it to pieces.

Children's Museum of Denver Custom Print

Working with the Children's Museum of Denver, we created this custom print for their fundraiser campaign. The concept was to celebrate the idea of childhood discovery. We were inspired by the star-filled Colorado sky and remembered how fun it was as a kid (and still is) to look up at the billions of stars trying to connect the dots of our imaginary constellations. From a distance we wanted the print to look like a child pointing at the stars, but on a closer inspection you see the blind press of what the child is drawing.

Children's Museum of Denver Birthday Bash Print

For this letterpress print we were lucky enough to collaborate with the Children’s Museum of Denver for their 39th Birthday Bash. Based on J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, the theme of the night was Never Never Grow Up. One of our favorite characters from the classic tale is the tick-tocking crocodile that’s always chasing Captain Hook. Keeping with the whimsical style of the event, we hand drew this print before pressing it on our C&P. We created 130 total prints: 100 for the event and 30 for our shop. All the loot from the prints goes to the Children’s Museum of Denver.
