I just wrapped up a Letterpress class downstairs at Moxie Letterpress, and let me tell ya...that's one art form that needs to make a bigger resurgence here in Louisville. It's such a personalized way of printing, and the results are amazing. Low-tech in a high-tech world always stands out.
Google "Letterpress" to find out more about how awesome this process is, or watch the video below...
Here's my final project. I cut all the letters and the background of the hand out of a linoleum block. The overlay of the hand and the text at the bottom were made on a computer, and into a polymer plate. I wanted it to look like an old poster from the early 20th Century with a 1970's slogan. I might be the only one that thinks this is funny, who knows. I'll be selling these from the site soon. Stay Tuned. Contact me if you'd like to order one for your loved ones for Christmas.
I'm with stupid.
