I am
I am a Limited edition of 50 letterpress prints...
It is the first print I have pulled in what feels like way to long! But for the first time in 6 months I have ink smudges on my arms, grease under my fingernails and turps on my apron. The world is as it should be.
And I am so excited!
For those of you who don't know the first week in october 2011 I suffered a hand and arm trauma which caused severe nerve damage in my right hand.
After a 6 month hiatus I am back on the presses (As of 9.30am 6th of march 2012!).
My hand writing and carving ability is still somewhat crude (or maybe it just leaves a little room for improvement)!.
But it feels oh so good to be inky again. And my pen/knife/brush control is improving everyday.
190x130mm Hand carved in wood composite, printed 2 colour letterpress on 400gsm box board.
This print was designed and produced here in Brisbane.
Sold unframed and shipped in a handmade envelope (using upcycled print room waste) with a personalised thank you note (in pencil) on the back of your print.
I am is available for sale

Andre that machine is absolutely one of the more friendly of my presses. he is actually one of my favourite to print on. George requires a strong leg to drive the treadle. I was printing on him today too so my legs are a bit tired! He is an old style arab press and was built between 1867 and 1869. The glimpse of a machine you can see beside George is Harvey he would be pretty familiar to the stateside printers and print makers he is a chandler and price 27'' paper cutter manufactured in cleveland ohio in 1901. He is significantly more intimidating than george - one of my girlfriends said I should use Harvey to cut off the arm and a leg I had to pay to buy him!
