WARNING: LETTERPRESS LIVE IS A LIQUID PROJECT. EXPECT COMPLICATIONS & PROBLEMS. But it is also free.

Today’s plan: Casey Smith at the Frederick Book Arts Center in Frederick, MD, gave me a poster celebrating the U.S. Constitution (I believe). People have been asked to add something to it. I’m adding a note (see above) from a few Supreme Court members.

I’ll laser-cut the type out of an acrylic sheet around 10am. Lunch will be from 11:15-12:30. The rest of the day, I'm trying to pull this off. Not sure if I’m going to print the foreground or the background.

The basic idea of “Letterpress Live” is that when we BELIEVE we will be prepared to letterpress a Lead Graffiti project, we will post it on our website calendar with as much advance notice as we can. I’ll try to wake up each morning and ask myself, “Are we prepared to print today?” At best, it is likely only 1 or 2 days’ notice. As lunch is a sacred time for us, printing will likely be in the early afternoon. We also tire easily.

If you're interested, you are welcome to come unannounced and unscheduled to watch, talk, and ask questions about the letterpress process in action. Be careful. We may get you involved. The address is 120A Sandy Drive, Newark, DE. Please park as close as possible to our studio door (clearly marked). If there are no spaces, feel free to park behind the car with the Delaware plate number 605566. I only have one copy from Casey so none of us will have a copy to keep.

You might email us if you are coming, but it isn’t necessary. With or without you, we'll try to print at the scheduled time.
