Description
Four handprinted vintage-inspired greetings cards with envelopes.
Need to know
Dimensions ; 210mm x 110mm
This set of 4 x BLANK INSIDE greetings cards (with matching envelopes) features the mascot of The Garage Press - a beguiling Edwardian gentleman who our friend Ed at Hellbox Foundry has named Omar. We know nothing about Omar but imagine he was a model who specialised in displaying the wonders of 'Gentleman's Corset' or 'Gentleman's Winter Undergarments' but we are still puzzled by where the shoes fit it.
In any event you need him and his three identical siblings in your life. Just think of the mischief they could spread on your behalf.
Omar was handprinted by us on hammered GFSmith paperstock, n baby blue Lyme Bay Press ink (from our favourite letterpress supplier Lisa at Lyme Bay Press) on a vintage Adana 8x5 printing press in our secret home studio in Sydenham.

My name is Simon Trewin, Founder and Chief Inkoholic. My prints, books and cards always start out with me scratching my head and thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I...." and then I am away!
Experimentation is at the heart of my practice - I love playing around with inks, vintage papers, wooden illustration blocks and historic metal type to a clanking soundtrack of my wonderful family of hand+foot operated presses. I also love classic typefaces, bold colours and an ever-present sense of how good prints can make a real instant impact. As you will see - I can rarely resist sprinkling a sense of humour in to the mix too!
Running through everything I do is my passion to help keep heritage crafts alive and to enjoy that sense of a historical connection to the printers, presses and ephemera that have come before me. I also truly believe in the benefits of slowing down, switching off and zoning into the deep focus that this process of discovery inspires in me.
In a world where everything is too fast, I enjoy nothing more than closing my studio door and diving into the rich and ever-rewarding world of letterpress printmaking.
