I wonder if I can convince my boss to turn the pressroom into a concert venue... probs not, but this is cool. Music and art... in Australia! Be sure to check out their site–they have some really nice work.

Lego Letterpress

Working in a letterpress studio, I always appreciate seeing the presses used in a new way. Not to mention I used to spend hours upon hours playing Legos with my brother when we were little. The gorgeous colors on this print don't hurt either. Physical Fiction is the work of Justin LaRosa and Samuel Cox.

SOF: 2011 Calendar is now complete!!

Now, I may be a little biased, but I think the newest Studio On Fire calendar is the best one yet. I am particularly enjoying the pop of copper on the inside of the easel stand- a nice little surprise to stumble across when assembling.

Of course the illustrations are superb (Adam Garcia, Jessica Hische, We Make It So, Brian Gunderson, Aesthetic Apparatus and Studio On Fire), my personal favorite is a mustache wearing a monocle (and it just happens to be the illustration for my birthday month of May- double bonus!).

Head over to beastpieces.com if you want to geek-out over the print details and studioonfire.com if you would like to purchase one of your very own.

Saw this while perusing the letterpress category on Esty. Seems like good advice.
