Letterpress print from the Shelburne Museum Printing Shop. After demonstrating his technique, the printer handed out free samples, including the one below (um, score). Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Vermont next summer (open May-October).

Stowe, Vermont holds a special place in my heart so it was SO FUN to create these save the date postcards for Jessica + Dan. They are getting married next spring at the lodge, with Mount Mansfield as their backdrop. Seriously, what more do you need.
P.S. Don’t you love these holiday evergreen stamps?

Another find from my trip to East Barre, VT a few weeks ago… These numbers came in a set (about ten of each) and were used to show prices in an old shop. I love their varsity-style type; they remind me of those classic manual scoreboards… I believe Fenway Park .

Recently found this screenprint I made a couple years back during a class at Iskra Print Collective. The class was a great experience… came outta there with so much knowledge, utmost respect for the process, + sore arms (that squeegee ain’t as easy as it looks, my friends).
Printed with silver metallic + black inks on wood paper.
Be sure to check out Iskra’s shop… amazing gig posters.

If you’re feeling the draaaiiin of your computer and you’re in Vermont, I highly recommend a trip to Shelburne Museum before it closes for the season. The buildings + grounds are amazing on their own - but getting to watch old school letterpress and blacksmith artisans in action is so inspiring. I guarantee you will walk outta there wanting to create. Below is a lil something I picked up, made in the blacksmith shop. Hope it brings me some luck.
P.S. The blacksmith mentioned that he was a dentist for 30 years in his previous life. As I watched him pound metal with a hammer, I could kinda see the connection. Yikes.

It’s not everyday that you walk into a shop and find a bumper sticker with your name on it. And an American flag. Nothing else. I mean, really?! Too good to be true. I did a triple take when I saw this in Vallee’s Den of Antiquity in Grand Isle, VT. Upon further digging, I found a bunch of stickers saying ‘Buckley for Lieutenant Governor’ from 1976. Not as cool as the original but you know I bought them all.
*Wouldn’t that be nice.

It’s a big night for my friends at Burton… the new website goes live at midnight, the 2012 catalog comes out tomorrow, and the store is full of new product. Most of all, months + months of hard work by hard-working people finally sees the light of day. Congrats, buds! And Pf - you killed it.
The above is one of my fave board relics from Burton… passed onto Pf by the infamous TG.
