Katie Evans has been involved here at Dick and Jane for years. She started as an intern helping out with all sorts of projects as she finished school. Katie has since gone on to work with a number of other companies offering her unique design/illustration style across the Twin Cities. You can check out her work at hellokatieevans.comWe recently commissioned Katie to help us create this totally jaw dropping letterpress invitation design. Every letter, every line, completely hand drawn by Katie. We're calling it "Love Blooms Eternal". The design was released at the October TCBA Wedding Show in Minneapolis receiving a wealth of positive feedback. We've since begun the fall/winter process of working on a collection of new designs for the Spring season. Katie will be creating at least 2-3 more illustrations in her one-of-a-kind style. Each of Katie's designs (including Love Blooms Eternal) are being added to the collection line up. Clients simply submit their text and Katie illustrates the entire piece. 100% hand drawn, hand lettered, and 100% guaranteed to knock peoples socks off!

Stay tuned. We will post a lot more info on the upcoming designs as we get them wrapped up. Thanks for visiting the letterpress blog!

Yup, we received the banner ad for our site. You'll notice it tucked away over on the bottom right. The TCBA hosts a number of wedding events throughout the year. We highly recommend any new brides take a look at their site and even consider making it to one of their events. Good stuff. - DJL

Was a wonderful success! We had a blast. Greeted over 1200 brides in just around 5 hours. Our heads were on a swivel and it appears that we were well received. Many thanks to TCBA for organizing the show, My wife for being so thorough with our booth branding, Dan at Speedpro for knocking out the large format stuff so quickly, and Matt VDB from Instant request for giving us all those great pre-show tips! We'll be back this January so be sure to visit us at the next wedding show!
