Dandy Lion Press Bunnylopes Cards

February 16, 2010 // kristen // 5 replies

San Francisco based Dandy Lion Press introduces us to the many fearsome breeds of exotic bunnylopes in this collection of hand-illustrated — no clip art here — cards, which include the Black Angora Bunnylope, prized by Serbian and Norwegian nobility, and the Sumatran Tiger Bunnylope, fearsome in appearance but actually quite lazy. The wonderful illustrations and captivating stories of these mythical (or are they?) beasts makes this collection of letterpress cards a must see.

Fantastic news for those of us — myself included, of course — who have been swooning over Jessica Hische’s Daily Drop Caps for months: you can purchase full alphabet prints or prints of individual drop caps from her shop!

She’s also recently created a letterpress version of one of her alphabets, which is almost too much for my letterpress-loving heart to handle. This one’s definitely on my ultimate letterpress wishlist.

I love to see creative collaborations, and I was excited to hear from Rachael of Pistachio Press about her recent collaboration with English illustrator, Samantha Cotterill (aka mummysam). The result is two super cool letterpress art prints, Portraits and Time to Go for Tea, and you can purchase them at both mummysam’s and Pistachio Press’ shops. The prints are a limited edition of just 100 each, so be sure to check them out before they’re gone!

I know that I already mentioned Louella Press’ super cool Valentine’s Day cards in one of my roundups, but I just had to tell you about their letterpress Voodoo Doll Kit! Valentine’s Day isn’t a holiday filled with chocolates, pink and red hearts, and lovey dovey sentiments for everyone. And, if you find yourself approaching this holiday with, well, less than positive emotions, then this kit is the perfect way to work through them. The kit even comes with pins for poking!
