Today was my first official day as an Intern at
Hatch Show Print! I didn't really know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! Everyone is amazingly nice, and I still can't get over how awesome it is to work in such a great historical place (they like to refer to it as a "working museum," too true!)
Though I seem to be the one with the most letterpress experience, I learned a lot today. The above photo is five different widths of the same 12-line wood type 'A,' from 12-line Gothic 1 to 12-line Gothic 5.
These are three different sizes and types of image plates they have, from linoleum to wood to magnesium. The girl pictured is Hatch's signature 'Gravy Girl.'
Also, somehow Hatch has an illustration of John as a fighter pilot. How weird!
Brad (one of the employees at Hatch) printed these awesome iPhone covers for flood relief. They're being sold paired with a letterpressed poster for $50 at
Cool People Care, and all proceeds benefit flood relief.
After work a bunch of us met up at this bar called the Flying Saucer, which has about a million different types of beer. If you drink 200 different kinds of beers, they put your name on a plate on the wall. If you drink all 200 ten times, they send you to Denver to get drunk at a beer conference. Epic.
