Stukenborg: Iowa Letterpress Dice Prints

These letterpress prints by Stukenborg are amazing. Each print was letterpressed on a Vandercook by arranging over 1000 hand-inked dice per poster. Printed on white Stonehenge paper with deckle edges, the posters range in size from 16.75 x 20.75 ($100) to 22 x 26 ($250). Each pattern was printed in a limited edition of 10. Buy one directly from Stukenborg’s Etsy store. These will go fast. Awesome concept and execution. (via Sass)
