Loaded Hips Press creates handmade cards and other unique works of art. Each postcard design is hand-carved from blocks of linoleum and printed using a C+P letterpress onto acid-free archival paper. All printed text is handset type, also printed on a letterpress.

If you like the look of Loaded Hips Press cards, then you appreciate the old fashioned ways of printing that were commonly used before the days of computers, scanners, and inkjet printers. Every card is individually printed on the press for a unique feel.

Loaded Hips Press believes that each postcard is a work of art, and that art should be accessible to anyone. With that in mind, we keep the prices modest. These prints belong in the gallery that is your home, or sent to a loved one far away.

Now that television and computers have saturated our lives with images, we've become removed from the process of creating them. Hopefully these cards will inspire you to think more about the value of handmade things, and maybe even to create something that is uniquely your own.
