Got a question about this product?
This urgent and important paper-on-card sign is threaded with a twist of itchy Kraft string for hanging on doors, walls or just for propping up in front of your laptop if you are bored and want to pretend your connection has frozen.
SIZE - A4 size (210 x 297mm), handprinted using a 100 yr old brass-topped nipping press, Lyme Bay Press rubber-based ink and individual wooden vintage letters onto paper-on-greyboard.
I made a pile of these during Covid in my secret Sydenham print studio and I love the wood-type knocks and bumps.
Note :Mr Tumnus (in last photo) is not included with any purchase. He is a pedigree floofster and priceless.

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.
