Not just a pretty picture. Make a poster with paint, markers, chalk, words and images from magazines and newspapers. Add layers; subtract layers for that grungy look. A little #graffiti, a little #grunge - a lot of fun. howardironworks.org/hiw-pef2… #CultureDays2026 #PEF2026

Making a statement through letterpress printing is certainly less hazardous than climbing up the Empire State Building. 😊 This was a submission to the Canadian Letterpress Alliance Bundle - Jan 2026. #printingmuseum #printinghistory #letterpress #woodtype #PowerofLove
