A little blog I made in regards to my new venture PaperBase.
Early #tbt to when Charlie was all crusted in rust, dust, old oil, and ink. I put so much love (and elbow grease) into this machine and I just feel that much more grateful to use it and share it. #letterpress #printmaking #boneblackpress #printingpress #restoration #antiques
Final layer for @phantomlimbpress today!
We’re in full swing for planning the future of the space. It won’t be ready until a few months from now, but that won’t stop us from dreaming about when it’s done!
Within the next year Bone Black Press will be relocating to operate within PaperBase, a new open community studio space in Baltimore, MD. It's a space for illustrators, designers, printmakers, etc. If you're interested in joining in there are info sessions this Wednesday and next Sunday --- > click if interested! https://www.facebook.com/events/975592799118282

Got some new little platen presses in the shop today! Craftsman Imperial, Craftsman hobby, and a little hand-inking press! The Imperial needs the roller springs tightened or replaced, does anyone know how to do this or where I can get them replaced? Any help is greatly appreciated! It seems like such a small thing to keep it from running smoothly. The Hobby just needs a new set of rollers and a good polish. The hand-inker I'm not really sure how to even use but it's a really cool thing to own!
New cat and dog ornaments on the way!
Proper preview of some holiday items soon to be available. Get excited for some customizable pet ornaments/cards and a whole lotta mint/red goodness :)
Good studio day! Preview of some new holiday cards 👍👍👍
WE'RE FUNDED! THIS IS SO AWESOME!
Now we will have heat in our studio space for the winter and make much needed updates to little things like garage doors/lights/garbage service, etc.
I am so thankful and grateful for all who have donated. No matter the donation size you've made a difference in the lives of many young artists (some who have not even been to our studio yet but will be!).
Before we started this endeavor we dreamed about stretching past our initial goal and thought about "what if?" Well, IF we do happen to keep pushing (there are 6 days left) we could set up a much needed ventilation system.. And there are still many amazing perks to be had. Thank you everyone again, I am so awed by the generosity of others right now.. Thank you.
We’re only 900 away from our goal! Thank you so much for the contributions you’ve made! This is so exciting!!! We worked so hard to get to this point and only need one more push to make it to the finish line! Get some artwork in exchange for helping a bunch of artists stay warm this winter in our affordable studio space. If you can’t afford to donate please pass this link around! Thank you!
