Being a young designer myself, it’s encouraging when people from our generation are still enamored with traditional printing methods. Although I haven’t seen pieces from his show, I already respect Colt based on the integrity and honesty of this work. Plus I love beards.
A simple two color invite, business card and price tag to go along with my first gallery solo art show at the Rowley Press/Gallery 39. The show will be featuring my hand sewn letterpress paper dolls, hand painted signs, and city illustrations.
During production I learned that good registration comes with taking it slow and steady, and if you put the wrong date on your plate, just write it by hand!
