We've been eyeing this set of prints from Paper Jam Press for a while now and we finally ponied up and got one for our new NYC office. Up to 38 in the series (of a targeted 40), these are the brainchild of Arianna Orland. Are we a little biased because they're printed on Somerset? Probably. Would we have wanted a set even if it weren't? Probably.
Maybe Arianna will let us choose the last two phrases...
80's - 90's hip hop + letterpress + Somerset = we need to add these to our collection.
Every Paper Jam Press poster is hand-pulled through a Vandercook letterpress, set with turn-of-the-century gothic wood type. Each poster comes out just a little bit different, and we like it that way.
The following is blatantly pinched from For Print Only, because they write better than we do:
Designer Lionel Scholtes could not resist the temptation to design his daughter’s birth announcements and have them letterpress printed...these announcements feature Brownstone’s soft monoline strokes and decorative swash characters with bold colors to achieve a nontraditional, ornamental but unfussy girly feeling that the designer and printer were going for.
Printed on Saunders Waterford
Pinted by Elegante Press
