If you tell me your secret, I’ll dress it with ink

I love the idea of working together to create something beautiful to share with the world.

Words are very important to me, typography allows me to play with them, to touch them, to learn to respect them. In return, they tell stories, keep memories alive, and evoke emotions. I use them with care and creativity.
Illustration is also a part of who I am, I’ve held a pencil in my hand for as long as I can remember. Printmaking is just the destination I’ve reached through a lifelong journey of drawing and creating, and when I create something fully customized, it is always a great honor for me.

So, if you’re looking to give (or receive) a meaningful, artistic and handcrafted gift, or if you’d like to collaborate with me on a special project, you’re in the right place.

Send an email to hello@theslowprintmaker.com or fill out the form on the contact page and tell me everything, I’m sure something unique and beautiful will come out of our collaboration.

Here you can find all the practical information for working together:

Three things you can do:

1. Make sure my style aligns with your project. This might sound a little bold, but it’s essential when working with creativity. It helps us avoid wasting time and ensures that, when we reach the final result, you’ll be truly satisfied.

2. Tell me about your idea, the more you can share — thoughts, feelings, details — the easier it will be for me to create the perfect print for you.

3. Remember that hand-printing takes time, quite a bit, actually. But your patience will be rewarded, that’s a promise.

Three things I can do:

1. Take your words and images and return them to you, even more beautiful, impressed on fine paper.

2. Make sure the work is designed, drawn, and printed just for you, uniquely yours.

3. Pour all the passion, technique, and creativity I have into the project, giving it the time and care it deserves.

A few technical notes:

I print exclusively by hand (I think that’s clear by now!) using vintage proof presses, up to a maximum size of 70×100 cm.

I use movable type, wood and lead, along with all the typographic materials I’ve collected over time to compose and print in an artistic and creative way.

I carve illustrations into linoleum and print them too, always by hand, always on the press.

To do all this, I need time, not out of laziness, but because here every letter is placed by hand, every line must be carefully carved (unfortunately, there’s no CTRL+Z), and every sheet is cut to the right size. I need to study your project in depth, run many tests, and be fully satisfied with what I’ll eventually deliver to you.

Everything I create is handcrafted. In my little workshop, I’m not chasing perfection, I’m looking for the right balance between technique and creativity. That’s where true beauty is born.
