Christmas cards are done and going out tomorrow. Hurrah!#letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/Brdq3SYhEx3/…

Dirty proof. #letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/Bs1D-3-BoFB/…

Wedges. Today trying to set type at an angle. Tried a few methods and failed. Settled of cutting small lead shims and making a fan between the type and furniture. Seems to be working.… instagram.com/p/Bs3CRQbBVIk/…

Printing torn edge mountains for a poster that may, or may not work. It’s all a big experiment. #letterpress instagram.com/p/BtHBmwPhGqY/…

In my sort out, I found this little cigar box of 16pt and 18pt black letter type. It’s not really my thing, but accompanying the type was some packing dated 1931. The type is now in a… instagram.com/p/BuQ4YC8Bygj/…

Unpacking more random type. #letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/BvEebUsFruV/…

Finally managed to find time. TYPONAUTS are go! Spent waaaay too long trying to get rid of a random roller mark. But it’s now gone. This is an exercise in getting more bang for your buck. Reverse impression doubles… instagram.com/p/BwIPhSGBryI/…

The feeling you get when you realize it’s going to take longer than you thought. That. instagram.com/p/BwND6nVF57T/…

My eyes! 8/8 Univers Bold. Star Type foundry type finally seeing the light of day. #letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/BwP4mbjBORJ/…

Gold layer going on TYPONAUTS tonight. #letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/BwXeL3DhFw9/…

There’s always a bodge. I think the Gill Sans Bold I have is worn. Everything else printed pretty clean, but had to pack the sheets just behind the title block. 🙄#letterpress #typography instagram.com/p/BwXjFb1hNCa/…

All done. The next layer goes on tomorrow night. Night night. instagram.com/p/BwXoF6Bh4IY/…

It’s been a while since I’ve been here! This was a quick exercise to get back into printing. It struck me over the last few weeks there was one rule to rule them all… #letterpress instagram.com/p/B-kQA1-BgpQ/…

This is giving me an absolute headache now. Tea needed. instagram.com/p/CBDww0rhHJ9/…

I never realised letterpress involves so much lino cutting! #letterpress instagram.com/p/CCt1FMYhamR/…

The combination of the wood cut rings and the lino discs. Printed metallic gold and fluorescent pink. This is for a self promo poster. Just another two more passes to go. instagram.com/p/CCt1hcThRFM/…

I’m starting to regret this project already. This is a repeat exercise, but the last one ended up on the floor (Don’t ask. I’m now speaking to my wife again). A trick I discovered is not to over commit, and to make… instagram.com/p/CDZOjDJh8yb/…

So, tonight's Bass Licks poster was Rick James – Super Freak.
