part 5 of 5 posts about printing in italy

The last of the cards mailed from Italy!

If you missed it, the letterpress part of the card was printed before I left Lousiana, at Blackbird Letterpress. Once I arrived for my semester abroad in Milan, I Rocco printed an image and address onto each card to mail to subscribers. It was an adventure every month!

This time, former roommate, one time Keep Writing collaborator and well-known arm squeezer Walker Mettling agreed to receive cards. He is also a fantastic storyteller, disciplined artist and a creative force! I asked folks to send him a word for a story, recalling the writing groups he lead at the Marigny Street house in New Orleans.

Inspired by my Spring Break trip to the Czech Republic.

As of 2024, Walker is living in the desert, screen printing and making monsters. If you see him, tell him hi from me!

Gocco and letterpress printed on French paper.
