Happy Type High Day to those who celebrate! Here's my custom Illinois license plate from Amerivespa at the beginning of the month! Any other letterpress printing scooterists out there? The skills (hoarding, maintenance, arcane knowledge, long drives to the middle of nowhere with a trailer to buy rusty garbage, raucous conferences) overlap more than you'd think! by @midwestephemera

Printing some fun stuff for @amerivespa next weekend, the national scooter rally is here in Chicago this year, combined with @slaughterhouserally ! It's like a Wayzgoose, but with scooters. by @midwestephemera

You may recognize this fellow from other prints i've made, but he's back to promote a bowling fundraiser at Fireside Bowl for @highconceptlabs, @roughpuppets, @homeroomchicago, and @comfort_station on August 30th. Any other printers out there wanna help me put together a team? I'm no good at bowling, but I'm an experienced Fireside patron. taken in Fireside Bowl by @midwestephemera

MWE printed this month’s @amalgamatedprintersassociation bundle envelope. @genghiskern ‘s got a bit shredded, and ours was left on the stoop in a thunderstorm. We usually make this stuff and post some slick photos and move on, so it’s nice to see it out there, doing its job. Other APAers, we’d love to see yours! by @midwestephemera
