Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Lizard Press Hand Printed Letterpress

0


By combining vintage wood and lead typefaces with digital designs made into polymer plates, each limited edition combination is printed on an old-fashion vandercook proof press, each one pulled by hand, from a single run on the press to as many as eight. Lizard Press projects vary from rocking CD sleeves, inspiring broadsides, typographic greeting cards and intuitive artists books.

About the Maker(s)

Melissa Kaup-Augustine Lizard Press
As a graphic designer, I am drawn to the beauty of the tones and textures of the letterpress. The letterpress process accents my work in multi-layers, reflecting the multiple layers and facets of life.
