After initially printing some business cards for this talented acupuncturist, Grant Sutton gave us free reign to design and print some ‘old world’ postcards for his ‘old world’ practice.

We were thrilled about the opportunity. Grant Sutton Acupuncture’s postcards were designed printed using Warm Grey 9U and PMS199 inks on 140lb Muscletone.

Grant Sutton Acupunture is based here in downtown Portland, Oregon. To get more info about his practice go here.

Making Faces: Metal Type in the 21st Century , a film by Richard Kegler documenting the lost art of pantographic type making will be shown at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon, with a Q & A session with the filmmaker after each showing. The 45 minute film details the working process of the late Jim Rimmer as he designs and casts the font Stern, the only type font ever to have been released in both electronic and metal versions simultaneously. The font is a commemoration of the fine printer and type caster C. Christopher Stern, of Sedro-Woolley, Washington,

The showing is a fundraiser for the C.C. Stern Type Foundry, a non-profit working museum of type casting in Portland, Oregon. (www.ccsterntype.org)

October 29th, 2011 / Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon

Daniel Cronin’s photography can speak for itself. But, if given the opportunity, we would add that his photos are provocative, poignant and in some cases, mystifying. Upon meeting Daniel, it was clear that this well travelled yet unassuming photographer lives behind his camera. When we saw the design for his card (a shutter, part way open) implying a photo eternally being taken, we couldn’t help but get into the project. We were looking forward to printing the simple and refined card, but even more so, we were stoked to have a reason to use the paper drill.

Daniel Cronin’s Cards were printed on two sides using dense black ink on a 140lb Muscletone Paper. You can see more of his work here.
