I just transferred my blog over to http://www.posterous.com from wordpress. I was waiting for the customization option and now it’s here.

All images are from http://www.graphic-exchange.com/ . I frequent that site a lot as there’s always amazing design showcased. I’ll probably pull design from there once in a while to show.

Took a letterpress workshop at The Arm NYC this past Sunday and it was super fun. It’s only 2 blocks from my house and now I can go there whenever I want, pay $15/hr  and print my own work. NYC is getting better everyday.

There was an array of wood and metal type. You can also get plates made from your art (elsewhere) and print from that.

Handset metal type. It makes you appreciate the art before computers. It’s REALLY difficult and time consuming to handset type, especially if you mix and match typefaces. I created these fun business cards on the C&P Pilot press. It’s actually really small and simple to use. I’ll own one of these someday.

Swiss Poster collection: 1970 to the Present

I’m taking a workshop at The Arm NYC and am very excited to be hands on in the process of letterpress. I’m definitely a hands-on kind of person and too much computer screen time hurts my brain. Excited to use their facilities after this workshop.

Most amazing minimal record player I’ve ever seen. No HUGE phono receiver needed. Pyott Design

Ok, I just found something cooler, and it was actually made, by Sony in the early 80′s. I want but good luck trying to find one as a model just sold on eBay for $400. Not sure I like it that much. http://ps-f5.com/

I find design inspiration in old typeset literature, letter pressed posters, as well as nature and in this case machines. The folks at Wrench Monkees in Denmark sure know how to make a well designed motorcycle. Based around a 70′s Honda CB750 with a lot of custom modifications. One of my favorite parts is actually the subtle curve of the handlebars.

A bit out of my price range though.

My bike is in photographs 3 and 4. While not as custom and solid, still a nice ride that I put a lot of my own blood and sweat into. 1975 Honda CB400F. Basically a smaller version of the above bike. See that seat? I molded it out of fiberglass and frenched the taillights/blinker combo from a modern sport bike. A lot of other work went into it as well. Really fun bike.
