An old friend of mine has recently started a letterpress printing company here in Denver called Birks and Birks. They are already producing some attractive work. I first took notice over this summer when they completed a print for my amazingly talented friend Mike Scarano’s entry into Artcrank (which you can see above). I can personally endorse B&B’s services having worked with them in the past. I know they are committed to the finer details of the letterpress craft. I am hoping to complete a project with them in the near future.
Dublin-based branding/design agency, We Make Design has some crispy clean work in their Behance-folio. By far my favorite work is the exhibition catalog created for the ‘Forty-eight Posters’ exhibition of Josef Muller-Brockmann’s work at the Image Now Gallery. I was absolutely obsessed with Brockmann while I was in college and I would seriously kill someone to get my hands on the poster or print above. I can’t tell from the Image Now website but it might be a part of the exhibition catalog which is sold out at their website.
I am serious, if someone knows where I can get my hands on the above (pictured above) poster or catalog please let me know. It’s beautiful.
