| Giveaway Description | A set of 3 letterpress and ink-drawn prints of Zagreus, Megaera, and Thanatos from Hades. Each color element was printed from handset lead type and decorative pieces in a 1921 clamshell-action printing press. I love printing from handset type for the physicality of the process, the necessary problem-solving, and the engineering that went into its design and production. I've developed this method of pattern-printing in combination with pen illustration to integrate the typesetting with other inspirations outside of letterpress: Mucha and Beardsley, weaving and fashion and character design, big swathes of flowing fabric, etc. Each print is 13.6 x 25.4 cm (5.375 x 10 in.), printed and drawn with archival inks. |

| Crafter Bio | I grew up in the apartment above my mother's letterpress shop, doing linoleum projects as a kid and typesetting jobs with her since high school. After four years majoring in art, running that shop and working in letterpress, printmaking, and book arts has been my full-time job for six years. For personal projects I do a lot of broadsides in lead type, and work with digital, ink, and linoleum/wood block illustration. | |
