15 internationally known artists (see list at left in "About This Project") whose work all involves lettering in some form or fashion have graciously offered their designs (many original for this project) that I will letterpress print in a limited edition, each print signed by the artist. Backers may have their choice of prints for a $35 pledge. A $70 pledge merits the choice of two prints and so on. Please note, personalized holiday gift notices are available so you may share the spirit of your gift with its recipient in a timely manner.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
All 15 prints enclosed in a special folio meant to house the prints complete with a title page & colophon (a credits page), the latter of which would list the $500+ backers' names.

2 sets of all 15 prints (one to keep, the other to share), the donor's name as an 'Executive Sponsor,' and a set of 15 Ink Dial units that I will come personally deliver, set up and show you how to work. If you don't have a need for the Ink Dial set yourself, you may designate an institution of your choosing as the recipient. I'll be happy to travel wherever they are (within reason) and set them up.
