Welcome to Verity Ink!

Verity Ink was born out of an eleven year old passion for cardmaking, with stamps and embellishments. And in May of 2010, I turned my sights from stamping to owning a letterpress. Our first press is a 1907 Chandler and Price 12x18 platen press we named Freedom. The second press we have acquired is a Kluge 10x15. With one eye on the bride, and another eye on the small business in need of business cards and other advertising, I am eager to create for the southwestern Ontario client that up until now has not had an opportunity to buy letterpress products locally.

I’m actually tempted to get emotional on this one.  Gavin Michael Booth – you have been one of the dearest friends to my family for over a decade now.  We live hours away, and lead very busy lives, but have always managed to find time at least once or twice a year to get together.  You’re the only thing (besides gyros) that I really miss about Windsor.  You have been an inspiration to me, a faithful friend, and a creative mind to bounce ideas off of.  I was so very glad we could do these cards up for you and your staff – especially glad to have got them to you in time for the Toronto International Film Festival. (side note – I’m still a touch giddy that Billy Boyd liked them)

Find Gavin here: http://www.youtube.com/mimeticonline, or here: http://twitter.com/#!/gavinbooth, or here: http://gavinnaked.com/, or even here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gavin-Michael-Booth/104148993891.  I’m sure I have missed a couple as well.

On to business cards.  We went with a black 2ply rag board, and a silver ink.  The design involved a hit on both sides, and three different names and sets of contact info.  The end result is a soft sort of paper – clearly letterpress, on a thicker paper that is clearly memorable.  Gavin (and Brendan, and Marie) – I can not wait to see what the coming years have in store for you!
