Description
Six handprinted vintage-inspired greetings cards with envelopes.
Need to know
This set of six BLANK INSIDE greetings cards (with matching envelopes) features two each of three designs and were inspired by a sign outside a disused Bingo hall in Sydenham near my studio.
I tried to buy the 'THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT' sign from the owners but they ignored my emails and I then considered 'rescuing' it but I ended up standing on a milk crate, photographing it and having it made into a photopolymer type high block instead! I then chose three images from my vintage illustration library and printed them inside the frames using a 1950's Adana printing press.
Because I can never leave anything alone I then used holographic thermo gloss powder on the frame to give it an extra lift.
Each deckle-edged card is 105mm x 148mm and comes with a matching envelope.

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.
