The ability to have a fresh take on design with a limited set of resources is an amazing skill that simply knocks our socks off, each time we set foot inside Hammerpress in downtown Kansas City.

I interned in KC 6 years ago and ran into Brady's press. It was glorious and as I was short on money at the time, Brady gave me what I guess can be considered an "enthusiasm discount" After 6 years I still have the postcards, book marks and little prints (and a gift tag that I never wanted to part with!) displayed in the hallway of my first home!
