I thought this letterpress snow angel greeting card design made by Brooklyn Bookbinder, was pretty clever. I love how the snow angel part is imprinted into the card with no ink, it really looks like impressions in snow. You can purchase it right now in Brooklyn Bookbinder’s Etsy shop.

Illustrator Lehel Kovacs occasionally makes some really nice typographic illustrations based on Yahoo headlines of the day. You can purchase some prints of those, along with other fantastic illustrations at his shop. If you want to follow his progress, he also maintains a blog.

Design and press studio enormouschampion has this great letterpressed cassette tape design on one of their cards. It has a handy space at the top of the tape to write your message, as if you were writing in the songs on the mix tape. The above photo is by Kristina Contes and shows [...]

Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings.

I just thought this was a very funny and appropriate way to test out your new letterpress machine. Those true nerds out there (which I’m guessing is a good proportion of my visitors) will understand, others can learn the significance here. I love the meshing of old world and new world.

I thought this little bird was cute and I like the minimal type above it that just says “hi.”. It was made by Wendy, of dozi design, which is a shop full of nice colors and patterns letterpressed onto paper goods. There’s a also a dozi design blog that chronicles her new work [...]
Max Erdengerger has designed a really nice looking set of posters to promote environmentalism. The profit he makes from selling the posters will be used in some way to offset the carbon emissions from resulting from moving his family across the country. I love the simple compositions and the graphic illustration style. [...]
Digital artist and graphic designer “greysheepduo” is putting out some interesting and quality design work. The incredible part is that it appears that he’s still in high school! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with in the future. Check out his design collection on Flickr.
Netherland Art has created some pretty groovy art pieces using collage materials, acrylics, and resin on a wood surface. I love when art is done on a nice slab of grainy wood, and he really knows how to work that 70’s rainbow.
