Holiday Cards and Coasters

Whew! It's been super busy in the design studio and print shop lately, but I wanted to make a quick post to announce my new holiday cards and coasters.

These cards and coasters feature original artwork and lettering that was drawn, scanned, vectorized and then made into a photopolymer plate for the letterpress. After the tree and greeting were printed, the ornaments were hand painted to add the prefect finishing touch. Below are a couple pictures of the work in progress.

The final hand-drawn lettering was scanned and cleaned up in Photoshop.

Each letter was then redrawn as vector art.

A photopolymer plate was made from the vector files. Above is the finished plate ready to be inked and printed.

And there you have it, a peek at how my cards go from sketch to letterpress!
