How We Make.
How We Make. I guess it is a play off of the well-known television program, How It’s Made. So, let us explain. Our friends at First Free Rockford asked if they could use our print shop to film their current series entitled Life Is More. So fun, right? They made us a little film with their extra footage. I love […]
A Peek into the Art Scene.

As we near the beginning of the second month of the year (time, just stop, will you?), […]

Today, I rounded up a few of my favorites over the past couple of years. These are just a few examples, but really, the tippy top of Rockefeller’s best Christmas tree is the limit. We may still be […]
New Digital Printer Capabilities.
Friends! We have been busy this summer. So many neat letterpress and foil pieces have passed through our little print shop in the past couple of months.
