Orphic

...by Marvin Bell. Available now in the shop!

late start to the last month of this year

Hi all,

Some technical difficulties have delayed the release of the beautiful card for December (featuring Marvin Bell's poem "Orphic"). Things should be up and running tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

october :: two postcards

Of course there's the poem-card (a poem by Molly Sutton Kiefer we like very much), but October also means we're releasing our first of four quarterly cards featuring the work of emerging artists. Nick Conbere is our first. Subscribers will receive his card (with two layers of printing and two of hand-coloring) with their October cards; it is otherwise only available (in a very limited quantity) in our shop in packets of three.
Happy fall!!

and then there were two

you know where
to find them, right?

--over here.

headed out into the world

Our launch was christened by catastrophe (August 1). Portent or not: work to do. We helped and watched and held rags over our noses and mouths. Then we prepared orders and packed and shipped, and ate Chinese food together, and wondered at the immense hole above the river outside our studio door.

Next week: an introduction to September.

hey!

Thanks for all the love! Spectacular.

We're getting together on Saturday to pack orders and ship them and figure out buying new typefaces and order paper and discuss the design of our September postcard (for you subscribers, it'll ship the first week of September, and of course it'll be in the shop on September first, too).

We've got a really lovely poet for September--so excited to share her with you. Just a little bit longer!

And there've been a bunch of submissions for the postcard-broadsides--thanks for that. We'll be talking about those, too, and hope to get back to them within the next few weeks.

Thank you thank you! Images and news as we have them.

(And we're all fine, although the bridge is about 100 feet from our studio!!)

guess

what happens tomorrow?

Subscriptions and single cards will go on sale tomorrow at about noon Central time (that's 1 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Mountain, 10 a.m. Pacific; 6 p.m. GMT) in our etsy shop. There will be 25 subscriptions.

Coming soon: our pick for September.
