You Could Be Making Art Instead of Just Fucking Around letterpress print

Description

(* NOTE TO SELF) … I may need to tape one of these to the corner of my TV as a reminder of all the hours wasted watching Ozark (or any TV show) when I could have been doing something productive.

18pt-120pt antique metal type, circular quads, vintage oil based ink. 5×7 print available on vintage heavy blue or mint green poster stock, or lighter weight white cardstock.

This was my first time using these vintage “circular quads”: modular spacing material made for setting type in arches or curved forms. The second photo shows a better view of the type + quads.

Each print is inked by hand and hand-printed (or “hand pulled”) on my flatbed printing / proofing press. Due to the hand inking, the age of the wood type, and the nature of the printing process, there may be a variation of texture, color, and opacity between different prints, making every print unique!

You will receive the print unframed, in a plastic sleeve, inside a semi-rigid cardboard mailer envelope (example shown in last photo). I ship via USPS First Class and the shipping cost includes tracking.
