Wonderful little letterpress video.
Wouldn’t mind having a pair of these. Better start saving some pennies.
Beautiful hand-lettering. It’s definitely a skill/craft for which I have a soft spot. Something I hope to learn and practice more often, besides just in my notes and scribbles.
Not much else to say other than awesome. Beautiful work.
Old Timey Typography. Lovely.
![I second that motion. I’ll take one.

I’ve always wanted a treehouse like this. [via @ableparris]](http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/tylermcgowan/786971885/1/tumblr_l594ttKDv31qbin9s)
I argued with Plato, mocked Immanuel Kant, challenged the logic of William James, talked back to Aristotle. Of course they couldn’t respond; but given the stupidity and naiveté of some of my comments, that was just as well. And it offered advantages the internet can’t. The satisfaction of online exchange comes at a cost: the dead can’t play. Sure, you can talk to Michael Beirut and Yves Behar. But you can’t reach Raymond Loewy or Norman Bel Geddes in the blogosphere.
I used to think otherwise about the books I had to buy through University—writing, underlining and highlighting would destroy the book—and as such, many of them were neglected, unread, and ultimately the whole premise of the book had then failed. My perspective has changed on a lot of things in the last few years, and I now wholeheartedly agree with what Ralph Caplan wrote.
Yes, you can file and bookmark content online, write comments for others to see and start some dialogue… but, there is still something to be said for the printed page/book and having the physical piece in front of you. It’s a hell of a lot easier to grab a book, flip through the pages and find the exact paragraph you noted. Now things like this might change with things like the iPad, but I still have the opinion that print is not dead and shall live on for quite a few years yet. Something about having the actual paper and being able to write and interact with it in a more permanent fashion seems more lasting and impressionable to me.
I’m definitely going to try and start doing this more often. Though there will still be some beautifully designed books that will stay as they’re bought. Thanks to @kdbakker for finding this.
I so very much want a vinyl die-cutter. (via beautiful-soup)
it was at this point Kevin realized his friends may have been right. painting his entire body in white paint, including his eyelids, was perhaps a bad idea. “it’s in my eyyyee!”
