Live What You Love Letterpress Poster Special Edition
I knew this day would come someday… (I am really grateful to my customers!) I printed Live What You Love Special Edition in poster size! It was another fun thing to print, working with linoleum is always nice :)
Please enjoy the behind-the-scene photos here…
Using the tracing paper on top of the letter “O” area where the heart would be and draw the heart shape…
Trace the heart shape onto linoleum…
and curving time!
On Vandercool press — after inking, curve any excess area off so it prints clearly.
Take the first color gray poster…
and print on top — I didn’t have to adjust the placement this time :) ((aww so cute… gets me every time…))
and pink!
Here are final products…

Coffee Love
I love my cup of coffee every morning. I really do. Sometimes, I wake up just so I can have a fresh cup. It is my big motivation and inspiration everyday :) We actually love this coffee from San Francisco, called Blue Bottle Coffee (we used to live right around the corner from their Hayes Valley kiosk) and we just couldn’t have anything else after drinking that coffee everyday and now that we live in NYC, we actually subscribe their coffee twice a month ever since we moved here. (oh, I actually have blogged about it before! I will keep saying this over and over.) Yes, it is THAT good. And it is so worth waking up for.
Anyway. I’ve been finding some coffee related cool items here and there so I thought I should share my coffee love to you today <3 Enjoy!

hmmm these things are inspiring me to print something new… with coffee love in mind :) Something to think about… (sip sip)
