This past weekend I took a letterpress workshop through The Canadian Book Binders Association, and Massey College at UofT. Basically I spent two days setting metal type to do a 6 x 6 broad-sheet, and a decorative post card stamp.

It was awesome. It was like type tetris and lego for designers all crammed into one. Messy, physical, frustrating at ( Read more... )

I saw Exit Through The Gift Shop, which was awesome.
