I finally get to share one of the projects I worked on…. The Bespoke Letterpress Illustrators Project! It was so much fun to be involved in and I just love the vintage printing process of letterpress.
Back in May this year, Bespoke decided they wanted to use their letterpress studio to create more than just invitations & stationery. They wanted to use their resources as a launch pad to help young designers & illustrators. So they opened the table for illustrators across the world to submit their work – The only rules were they must be emerging illustrators and they must produce a three colour illustration.
10800 foot treadled impressions, 1800 sheets of cotton paper and 30 new ink colours later we are finally able to launch our 10 new prints. Each print is a limited edition run of 150 prints and are available in their shop for $65.00 each.
And to celebrate, they have two lots of exciting news to share. The first is that between now and the 16th of October, enter the code SALE in their online store and you will receive 10% off their entire range of letterpress goodies.
And, they have an amazing prize to giveaway – The entire collection of their Bespoke Illustrators Project is up for grabs. That’s 10 prints valued at $650 worth of letterpress loveliness for one lucky winner!
To enter the draw, all they ask is that you view the range via their website or shop and that you comment on their blog post found here and let them know which print you like the best.
Over the next 10 days they will also be featuring one illustrator per day on their blog where you can find out more about each illustrator and see their print in more detail.
Each comment to their blog post will receive one entry. If you tweet about our project & giveaway they will give you an extra entry, and if you blog about it they will give you 5 entries. Please do just let them know in your comment if you have twittered and/or blogged. Entries close on the 15th of October, and the winner announced on the 16th of October.
