Interview: KeeganMeegan
We found out about KeeganMeegan Letterpress & Bindery on our honeymoon in Portland a year and a half ago. After picking up a postcard for an art show at Em Space Book Arts Center, we were lucky enough to find Keegan Wenkman working in his space there. He was very nice and patient with the two of us rubbernecks as we watched him print some posters on a Vandercook.
Keegan and his partner Katy Meegan have been designing and printing together since 2007. The pair has amassed an impressive amount of knowledge and equipment about printmaking and bookmaking. If they can raise the money, (and you can help!) they’re hoping to use their expertise to save an incredibly rare C&P cylinder press bound for scrap. Ever since we first happened upon them, they’ve been a huge inspiration to us, and we’re super excited that they agreed to do an interview.

Connor Hoskings aka CRUSADES
Connor Hoskings, a.k.a. CRUSADES is a designer out of London. His collages and logo designs are excellent, but I think his experimentation with hand drawn type is the most inspiring. You can see more of his calligraphy and graffiti-esque lettering on Flickr.
