Exquisite letterpress, Igor Kopelnitsky and ME.
I knew it, someone would notice this amazing project by Exquisite Letterpress, the shop of my longtime co-conspirator Peter Fraterdeus. Peter and I have known each other since the beginning of time. From his Micetype newsletters in the early days of laser printing Postscript™ technologies, first third party type house to create multiple master fonts, the first online community for designers designonline, first AIGA community online, and his Alphabets foundry — we have experimented with offline and online technologies together.
Ya need to go over and BUY a pack of these cards or better yet print a set of your own design. These are luscious. Amazing amounts of ink coverage on cotton paper. Pleeze! Show some love for letterpress.
Big kudos to Peter! Now he can get ready for our Spring Fling an all-out sprint to print a set of my ink drawings, egyptian waters as a fullsize limited edition and a set of blank notecards. I think he can handle it.
We’re planning an open house event around the printing of these drawings. Details to come.
Please note trademarks on Micetype, Postscript, designonline, Alphabets and any others we may have forgotten to mention.
