Letterpress nerd, fledgling typefoundry, cats. Also probably mushrooms. Find my work at bowerbox.com, buy some of my type and print things with it! Subscribe to my niche newsletter about typecasting: americantypecastingfellowship.org

Messing around with big type too- I'm playing with ideas for the cover for the next issue of the ATF Newsletter, using type cast from original ATF matrices (these are 60pt Bradley Modern Initials)

Packing up some more Amanita border sets, trying to make some space here in my tiny print shop. If you've ever wanted to print with mushrooms, here's your chance! #letterpress #typefoundry

Inking up. Took some adjustments to get a good rainbow but this never gets old. #letterpress

Busy time at the bird feeder, we have several pairs and baby house finches, a chickadee, a wren, a mourning dove or two, a cowbird, a catbird, a pair of Cardinals, and a bluebird hanging out.

I'm on a podcast! I talked to Ann Shafer of Platemark podcast about my shift from painting at MICA to typecasting in Massachusetts. Find it at platemarkpodcast.com or wherever you listen, and jump into the world of printmaking, collecting, and curating. #letterpress #typecasting

Installed my tight worm gear tonight so I could print a fancy rainbow. Happy Pride! #letterpress

I set up a new machine in the shop- the Preis engraver, for making new matrices for typecasting. I'm excited to be able to work on new mats more often and spend my foundry time casting from them! #typecasting #letterpress
