Hamilton Hellbox Calendar

New for the 2012 year is the Hamilton Hellbox Calendar. This fine piece is printed 3-color letterpress. Only one or two cases were used to set the decorative portion of each month’s page. Cases full of random punctuation, assorted typestyles, and miscellaneous cuts were pulled from the furthest, darkest corners of the museum to make one hell of a calendar. Best thing about this, you order one calendar and receive 12 unique prints. Find ordering information here.
