real fast

so, i am officially back in kc after many weeks of fieldwork. it feels good to be home and to know that i wont have to leave again in four days. on the downside, it was really, really, really hard to sit in the office today for eight hours straight. ugh. i couldnt take it anymore, so i broke down and am posting really fast like. i have a picture of my cousins wedding invitation that was done by an amazing local letterpress artist named brady. he started a business called hammerpress, and if you are ever in kc you should run, not walk, down to his store/studio and buy up all the cool postcards and prints you can afford. his webpage doesnt do him justice, and this scan of the invitation certainly doesnt do him justice. all the great texture and color is lost in the jpg. phooey. but because it is so freaking cool looking, i just had to share it. i have been meaning to for a while.

how awesome! and it totally fits their personality. i mean come on, not very many people have a skull and crossbones on their wedding invitation, right? (there is a little brown skull and crossbones above the star at the top center of the invite, hard to make out on this scan, i know). its printed on this brown cardboard/chipboard type paper that brady uses all the time. i could go on and on, but this is supposed to be a fast post at work and its time for me to leave anyway, yippie!
