Inky Lips Letterpress, a Dallas area letterpress shop owned and operated by Casey McGarr, has a fantastic portfolio of invitations, stationery, and posters. I’ve featured selections from Inky Lips’ custom invitation portfolio above, but their poster designs are equally impressive, and you must check out their gallery of hand carved linoleum blocks. Great stuff.

Those hand carved blocks are awesome! Does anyone know if it’s possible to create a depression in the paper when using those? I’ve tried, but got nothing but a lot of ink getting pushed towards the edge of the design.
Great question! I hope that someone is able to provide insight on this because I’d like to know, too.
Its pretty difficult to get an impression because linoleum is soft. Its much better to print a kiss impression.
