I did a thing! Awhile back I had the #BrilliantIde I did a thing! Awhile back I had the #BrilliantIdea to #3Dprint a QR code and then #Letterpress print it on the back of my #BusinessCards so people could look me up later. I finally got around to printing and then #LetterpressPrinting it! #ItWorks not only printing but scanning the #QRcode

If you are a letterpress printer, I can even print one for you! Order them on my #Etsy shop.

When you don’t need a #Letterpress percent sign, When you don’t need a #Letterpress percent sign, they are everywhere. However, when you need a specific one… like 24pt, sans serif, light, it’s impossible. I’m not even mentioning the extended version, because if I could get the first three I’d be content.

Oddly, these are the fun #Typographical challenges that make #Handsetting #Type so addictive. Who needs a drop-down menu?

I love discovering pin marks in the side of #Lette I love discovering pin marks in the side of #Letterpress metal type (#Woodtype too, but this in is on lead). I’m setting #Pied type for a #JokersWild piece for #AmalgamatedPrintersAssociation and discovered this L. Johnson & Co Phila mark identifying it, which means this is pre-American Civil War era type as it was used 1843-c1860. #NoJoke fun #TypeTuesday find.
Growing up with #MadMagazine this image looks out Growing up with #MadMagazine this image looks out of place in my collection of #Letterpress printing plates. I of course had to research the history of #AlfredENeuman to find out if this was in fact a cut of Alfred.

Well turns out not really. The cartoon image of this boy was the inspiration for Mad Magazine, but the icon itself goes back pre-twentieth century. Possibly advertising for a 1896 play titled The New Boy but most certainly for medicines in the early 1900s. Check out the Smithsonian Magazine article from 2016 for more details on the icon. 
//
I’m not exactly sure when this plate was made, likely older than Alfred E. Newman, but on the side I found a makers mark from right here in #ToledoOhio at Peninsular. I’d love to find out more about that company if anyone knows, drop me a DM, because #ItMattersWhereYouMakeIt

I’m in a bit of a funk working on my #Amalgamate I’m in a bit of a funk working on my #AmalgamatedPrintersAssociation #JokersWild collaboration, so I’m pulling out all the stops and rockin a Hawaiian Tshirt to channel printers past and mix up my normal routine. Wish me well.
