communication is a funny one


We all love communication.  
Lately I have become more interested in posters and postcards, more so than I ever thought I would.  But what a fun way to say something concisely with words but also have the chance to say that concisely something with imagery and composition as well.  A well known letterpress outfit, Hatch Show Print, has had some luck doing just that.  This is a nice little video on their history and process if you are inclined to take a peek.  




Being hungry most of the time, it pleased my mind and stomach to stumble across these posters also printed up at Hatch Show Prints for 4505 meats and for someone as hungry for food and language humor as I am!

And it isn't easy to replicate those subtleties of well crafted and fun ways of saying something simple like hello, goodbye or are you hungry? Its fun to think about the syntax of our synapses; what your particles are telling your other particles and how exactly they go about saying whatever it is they need or want to say.  I find this much easier to do if you can imagine it done with sounds like pings and zooms and zaps.  Any language, indeed, is a funny thing.

Happy Trails!
