Letter Press Prints

My interest in printmaking, text, typography, photocopying, letter-press, bookmaking etc is mostly tied to my need for the page. I did not learn how to use a computer the way most people did until 2018. It’s the truth, I promise.

Most of these things developed because I did not own a computer for a very long time.

I love paper!

A series of letter-pressed 8.5” x 11” posters made with mixed custom wood type on a Vandercook No.4 . These and other variations were made for 8Ball Community Bookfair that took place at the Coney Island Eldorado arcade and bumper cars on October 29th 2023. 
Editions of 10

Protest posters ( second photo) were free and generously distributed.

Chaos Reference

Chaos reference: a graphic meditation on chaotic maps, intellectual property, and things I feel bad saying out loud

This book is a edition of 15. Each copy is arranged differently and contains seven unique letter-pressed prints.

This book is an attempt to capture chaotic visual chatter I like referring to as “graphic meditation”. The images referenced come from my research into mapping chaotic behavior, image encryption, and playing with my conflicting sentiments around reappropriation and intellectual property.

23 pages total 
11 x 17 ( when closed or as “A” frame ) 
22 x 34 (open and flat) 
15 laser printed images on vellum and 7 letter-pressed prints on a mixed selection of paper. Laser etched title on clear acrylic book covers. 
Silicone tape ” book brakes” have been applied to each book cover to ensure that each book can rest in the “A” frame position.
