I think the letterpress is turning into an addiction. Luke stumbled across this lovely blog the other day whilst in the photoshop workshop and between the excitement and mouth gaping I without hesitation wrote it down. BeastPieces is a letterpress workspace in Minnisota, in the U.S., and unlike some of the other letterpress blogs I follow this one seems to have a more distinctive quailty to the work that is really engaging, utilising lots of illustration and innovative stock use. These below were wedding invitations, I love the depression on these the press makes and the type on these, so fluid it looks like it is written by hand.
These are quite inventive use of stock, business cards/invitations designed for another designer, Matt Van Ekeren. They're actually tongue depressors, echoing that idea of 'design that talks', love it.
A set of Card coasters, really like the illustrative style on these and not just the print quality.
BeastPiece's very own business card, throwing stars. Awesome.
