Hot time in the shop

There's been a certain madness about March. It came in like a Lion, and frankly there's no Lamb in sight.

We've had weddings, invitations, lots of ID (business cards, etc.), and the whopper of the month, the AIGA Boston 25th Anniversary.

For AIGA's big event we produced invitations and posters on Crane's Palette (generously donated) designed by Stoltze Design.

The big event is this weekend, March 28, and there will be a Wood Type/Handpress workshop here at our shop in New Bedford! Please check the AIGA site for details.


April promises more fun, No foolin'!

oooh, we're part of the blog-o-sphere

We got a little mention about out Punc!? notebooks over at notebookism.

The post over there describes the books (they're pretty cool), but here's a little picture.



...and here's where you can get a set for yourself. Etsy

On press

A lovely blend fountain design. 3 colors, in 2 passes. The blended ink changes over the course of the run, so each card is unique.

In the news...

We were in the news a bit at the end of last year.

The holiday card for Northeastern University's president was featured on The Boston Globe site. The gallery page seems to change by the day, last time I looked we were page 9.

The card was designed by Stacey Bakaj. It's printed on Hahnemühle Copperplate, one of our favorites, with tight registration of a deep purple and gold. 

Stacey beat the holiday rush by thinking Christmas in July!

Elsewhere in the Globe, was a feature on a special project initiated by Designer Rick Rawlins. Elias served as a printing consultant for the project, and we coordinated the materials to get silver ink onto tarpaper via steamroller!

Here are some of our images...
