This Time Let’s Try Harder Poster

This poster entitled “A Lifetime of Getting Better” was a poster originally conceived for Version Fest’s Printervention show. The words directly reference the quality of the poster - very rough lettering and doodles printed on thin butcher paper and hand cut into circles - as well as being a general life mantra. Recently the graphic has been digitally reproduced at four feet tall, adhered to giant concrete tubes and displayed around France for the Chaumont International Poster Festival. Purchase here.

High Fives Letterpress Poster

Another print from a Hamilton Woodtype museum visit. A phrase that started as an inside joke between Tony Francesconi, some others and I really puts a smile on peoples faces when letterpressed and hung on a wall. My apologies to anyone that will have to work at a merch table selling this poster. Your hand will be really sore at the end of the night. Buy it here. Thanks to Margot Harrington for the extra hands while photographing the poster.

Analog Print

Letterpressed Analog Poster

Another poster printed while at Hamilton Woodtype Museum. This run of ten was done on a show card press which gave me the ability to ink the forms once and print the entire run with each poster getting a lighter ink hit than the one previous (print one-of-ten being the darkest). Most letterpress prints are priced pretty high so to keep the cost down the posters is printed on text weight pink paper so it is easier to transport and keep shipping costs at a minimum. Folded and shipped flat directly to all you handmade nerds, letterpress lovers, and record collectors. Purchase here.
