New #viralpost on press, with apologies to the Beatles. Happy to provide an analog version if needed, just DM your address if I don’t have it. #apabundle #cometogether #devinneforthewinne #letterpress #printtherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Kwmudh_Ql/?igshid=1xppj1jjzjvl2

Received some perfect rules for my letterpress shop in this month's #apabundle. Thanks to @springtidepress and @starshapedpress , I'll point it out to all my students. #letterpress #bookarts #leadtype #goodrules (at Big River Bindery)

Nice Bundle this month, crazy constructions with ornaments, interesting layouts, some directionals, and some Braille. Plus my two contributions: the perfect advertising headline that had been cooking for quite some time and finally managed to get done, and a completely off-the-cuff Mamet quote that emerged from a talk with my landlord about some Verizon salesguys. Tagged where I could. #bundle #apabundle #apa963 #amalgamatedprintersassociation #putthatcoffeedown #coffeisforclosers #winfreesex #perfectheadline #mitchandmurray #imherefrommitchandmurray https://www.instagram.com/p/CqA0MvlOwdL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And here's February's APA Bundle selections! An alphabetic Valentine, Bill Soucy getting the jump on me printing Cherokee, A Leonard Cohen quote, a paen to everyone's favorite legume, my dedication to the most varied and interesting of the Yardbirds guitarists, a playing card foldover, my recreation of the absolute best 80s bumper sticker slogan, and an amazing giant farewell to Dennis Bayuzick. Tags were I could! #bundle #apabundle #apa963 #amalgamatedprintersassociation https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYVoqUuNf4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And now for the December Bundle! The December Bundle always gets people throwing random stuff on the press to fill their quota, but sometimes good stuff manages to sneak in. LOL at the “Panic at the typecase” one — how true. Also props to the glorious monument to 40s commercial type. Mine commemorates the holiday that I prefer to celebrate: perihelion, the moment when the Earth stops plunging towards the Sun and begins to pull away from the giant thermonuclear explosion at the center of the solar system. I also figured a nice smileyface would put a human spin on my snarky press persona.

Got busy, got lapped with the APA Bundle, here’s highlights from November’s BIG BUNDLE, the December Bundle shall follow. Lots and lots of good stuff here, people generally invest time in there BIG BUNDLE… plus, it’s the end of the year, people are panicking about getting their quota in. 🤣 Not me, I didn’t get two a month this year, but I still got over two digits. 😉👍 #humblebrag My selection for this month is a musing on what exactly made the human species an unlikely but effective overlord of this planet. My choice: information processing. Folks tagged where I have a social media handle for them. #apabundle #apa #amalgamatedprintersassociation #bundle #apa963 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZYjfZuIuh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I also finally opened up my October APA Bundle, fortunately it’s still October, amirite? Some interesting stuff this time — two print series using variations of color, what’s the odds of getting those in their same Bundle? Words of wisdom, cool little creations, a tiny calendar, all sorts of excellent work. I tagged those who are on the InstaMETABooks. One of my bits was a little bit of APA inside baseball, so just admire the use of wood type and check out the last pic. Sometimes I greatly amuse myself. I hope I amuse others. 🤣 #amalgamatedprintersassociation #bundle #apabundle #apa963 #leehofooks #letterpress #bostonprinter #printing #bostonpress #popmembers #crankclickyankback #type #lead #tin #antimony #vandercook #stovefactory #Charlestown #ink #paper #inkonpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CkT_nr-OaQe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bundle Bundle Bundle! Some selections from this month, including my Sun Fun Fact (swipe for the kicker). Some fun ones, but two I decided to give detail shots of were the Typographic Ornamenta piece from Hill & Dale and a lovely poem from a Ukrainian poet/soldier.
