Art Trade : LetterPress for Screen Printing

After doing a masterful job on our business cards, we started talking to Tim Butler, of Quality LetterPress, about a possible Art Trade.  He was looking for unique, screen printed poster backgrounds for his band, Hot Rod Lincoln, and offered a free round of Letter Pressed posters in exchange.

The minute I saw all of the vintage looking posters in Tim's shop, I immediately thought about Blackout Party, and how this would fit their vibe.  I grabbed Brian and Andrew and we spent a day with Tim, learning how to run LetterPress machines from the early 1900's.

here are some pictures and videos from our day.

Lining up the print...

Number 1 of 40 - If you look carefully, you will notice our type-o.  It is tough to spell and lay everything out backwards...

If you want to make some posters before Tim and Hot Rod Lincoln head out on a European Tour with the Stray Cats, better email him soon.  You can find Quality Letter Press here.

Here is one of our collaborative Hot Rod Lincoln, European Tour Posters...
