Alisa Bobzien

We’ve been super busy keeping up with holiday craft shows for the past month and have been completely slacking on our blog. On the upside we’ve had a chance to meet so many talented people, whom we will profile on the site in the upcoming week.

Ann Arbor’s Alisa Bobzien, whose work we absolutely loved at this years Detroit Urban Craft Fair, creates these ornate screen prints.

In the Streets of Old Detroit

A couple of weeks ago, Dennis and I visited the Detroit Historical Museum for a party in the Streets of Old Detroit. We were there in honor of our dear friend Amy, blogstress at The Night Train, who just wrote a book (!) called The Hidden History of Detroit. It was so much fun, and we took lots of pictures of old typography to be inspired by.

Stukenborg

Between a busy weekend of house painting and printing Christina and I went to Astro Coffee and Mudgies in Corktown in Detroit to grab coffee and lunch. At each of these placed we saw awesome letterpress prints advertising events around Detroit. After doing some digging we discovered that the prints were produced by Stukenborg, aka Bryan Christopher Baker. Bryan is a recent transplant from New York who now resides in Corktown. His current project is creating beautiful patterned prints using hundreds of actual dice.
