Hello Atelier 005

Brady Vest

This week on Hello Atelier, we submerge ourselves into the world of letterpress with our guest, Brady Vest of Hammerpress, as our guide. Brady was on the forefront of the resurgence of letterpress as a design technique. His early interest in an endangered art has led to a more than 20 year career in design, always up to his elbows in ink.

What is going on in Brady’s world:

• Hammerpress: Shop Brady’s online store for posters, cards and more!
• Hatch Prints: The legendary letterpress designers from Nashville, TN
• Kansas City Art Institute: Where Brady got is printing start in school
• Leedy Voulkos: An influential art gallery in Kansas City
• Charles Anderson: Inspiring Graphic Design
• Spin Pizza: A (delicious) restaurant group that worked with Hammerpress (and Willoughby Design) to create their brand identity
• Boulevard Brewing Co.: A local brewery that has worked with Hammerpress on many brand identity projects, including a series of posters, some of which you can see in the gallery
