I will draw one winner from the eligible entries and will announce the winner in Friday’s Flickr post. Eligible comments must include a valid email address so that I can contact the winner.

I like Kim’s work over at Paper Lovely, but my heart does a total flutter for the work of Hatch Show Press in Nashville.
I think Studio on Fire is in a league of their own, but I have a list a mile long of others I love.
the work of mitchell & dent is beautiful & it amuses..!
I really love Katie Kirk from Eight Hour Day!
Anne Benjamin of course!
I love Snow and Graham and Bookhou.
Happy Labor Day!

My first love was Hatch Show Print.
I love Rachel’s answer. Also John Dunlap who printed the first 200 copies of the Declaration of Independence.

One of my favorite letterpress printers (today, anyway) is Austin Press. http://austin-press.com/site/

Enormous Champion!
Sadly, my favorite, William Everson, is no longer with us, but his work and the writings he left behind continue to inspire me to hone my craft and investigate the magic interstices between language and object.
I love Ellie Snow’s work! So pretty. Her blog Mint is wonderful too!
I am wildly inspired by Amos Paul Kennedy Jr., he is so in love with letterpress and all it’s wonderous possibilites!!!
