::old school stationers::

Old School Stationers is a letterpress studio in Portland, Oregon. Owner, Brian Green, draws each gorgeous image by hand and prints each color individually on an old 1917 letterpress. I am a huge letterpress fan and have made searching for letterpress work somewhat of a hobby and I think Old School Stationers produces some of the best quality letterpress cards + prints out there. It is not easy printing multiple colors on a letterpress so flawlessly and you can literally feel the kiss of ink on each print. Buy the beauties here.
