Edition Info & Materials

Limited Edition of 500

Individually numbered & signed

1-color letterpress printed on Crane Lettra 110# paper

Printed by hand on the Vandercook #4 in my Downtown Oakland office. As this is a handmade item, there is some variation in ink density.

Framing Instructions

Nothing beats custom framing, but if you're looking for an economical option for standard-sized frames I highly recommend Opposite Wall’s natural oak frames. To best protect your print from sun damage, I recommend replacing the plexi with UV plexi or glass.

I’m also a fan of Well Made Co. oak magnetic hangers. I tested a lot of magnetic hanging options and they were by far the best quality. Magnetic hangers are great for large or odd-sized prints.

Creative Process

  • Sketch

    Every piece of art begins as a sketch, exploring different layouts and styles. These days I do most of my sketches on an iPad in Procreate.

  • Final Art

    The final vector artwork is drafted point by point in Adobe Illustrator. I love getting lost in the details and spending hours perfecting curves.

  • Letterpress!

    Color separations are made, plates are created, and the final artwork is hand printed one color at a time on my Vandercook press.
