When it came time for us to find our next Dead Feminist, our thoughts turned to our own mirrors. Like every woman in our pop-culture-driven world, Jessica and I are bombarded with imagery and messages that urge us to scrutinize and criticize our own appearance. Unsurprisingly, we are taught to find ourselves lacking in one …
It’s that time again—we’re inking and printing up a storm right now, because we’re just about ready to introduce you to our newest Dead Feminist! We hope you’ll like her as much as we do—after getting to know her history, we feel like she’s become something of a deer friend. (Sorry, I can never resist …
The holiday season is upon us, and we’ve been buried in a flurry of gift orders lately. I just did a count of our broadside inventory, and I thought I should let you know that both our Annie Oakley and Imogen Cunningham broadsides are nearly sold out. As of this writing (afternoon of Friday, December …
Babe Didrikson Zaharias and other LGBTQ public figures of her time didn’t have the option of living their lives they way they chose.

Jessica and I are releasing a new broadside in a week or so, and I thought I’d show you a snippet of what we’re working on. No, the broadside won’t be in black-and-white, but every design goes through a black-and-white phase before it goes on press in living color. It’s actually a good thing to …
Jessica and I are working on the next broadside right now—our process begins with choosing a quote and hammering out a rough concept, and then I do a bunch of thumbnail sketches to puzzle out the design. Usually, by the time I start lettering in pencil, I have a really clear picture in my head …
This beauty arrived in the post a little while ago, and I finally remembered to put it down for a moment to take some photos to share with you. Our broadsides are in a new book! Our friends Kseniya Thomas and Jessica C. White, who founded the Ladies of Letterpress organization and conference, have just …
