so, you want to letterpress too?

in our typography class we just got finished with a letterpress assignment. I'm lucky enough to be at a university with a letterpress to physically learn on & experiment with. it's so addictive! and since I can't invite you all into the letterpress to share in my obsession, I want to introduce you to something almost as great.

last week I had the opportunity to listen to Molly Pogansky from The Living Letterpress tell us about the development for an app for the iPad called "LetterMPress." It basically works just like a letterpress without all the hassle & commitment to heavy machinery & deathly inks & lead, but you still get to make the coolest works of art.

check out the LetterMPress flickr collection and tell me you aren't excited. if I had an iPad, I would buy it in 2 seconds flat, no questions asked. plus, if you go right now i'm pretty sure it's on sale for $2. & how can you say no to that?
