Blogging Moby-Dick
november 2011 by Vaguery
"The ship Pequod, too, was a vestige of an earlier phase of the whaling industry: "She was a ship of the old school, rather small if anything; with an old-fashioned claw-footed look about her." She was a ship trophied by past hunts, and named after "a celebrated tribe of Massachusetts Indians, now extinct as the ancient Medes." Matt Kish's portrait of the Pequod evokes its inimitability and intricacy, but Melville's own image is at least as fantastic."

Printing and Binding Services Offered at Deep Wood Press
march 2009 by Vaguery
" Here at Deep Wood, with the equipment we have, the possibilities are nearly endless. We can die cut, perforate, blind stamp, deboss, emboss, foil stamp and print onto most any material. Due to our "dated" technology the results of process color printing are not to par with modern day offset printing technologies but letterpress excels at most everything else if you are trying to imbue your project with a sense of timeless quality and lasting impression. There is something about the impression of type on a fine surfaced paper which is both a visual and tactile experience that is relayed to the person holding your printed material on many different levels. Do you remember the last time you noticed printing and presentation? If you think about it you'll see where our true value lies. Our products are quality not necessarily quantity."
