Yearn for the days when the letterpress shop was in full tilt. By the same token, I don’t miss the stress of the rat-race schedule to make a living! Occasionally a spoof print job would surface, when there was a little slack afternoon. Like the Mickey Mouse parking ticket. A couple words on it were a little too X rated for this site.
And a very special thanks to Craig Starr (Who got me started and has been a great mentor to me),
And to Brad Dicharry (Who has been very kind, and generous). Thanks for everything!
Also, to anyone who has tought me something I will never forget. Thank you.
Here it is!!!

Looks good and feels Great!! Good job!
Looks good! Is that a Crocodile playing a banjo? I used to like to put a laughing teddy bear in my stuff. Good job.
Calvinc:
You have a very vivid imagination. It looks like it’s a snapper, but of a different ilk, a hand-operated letterpress.
Crocodiles are very rare in Iowa, but letterpress presses are everywhere.

Hazard of the trade I guess. Life is good.

Congratulations! The “first print feeling” is special and I won’t forget mine. Looks great!
Thank you everyone!

Dundee, IA! I used to live there. Wow what a small letterpress community it is… Your print looks great. My c&p 10x15 is arriving this week
