		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been ages since I&#8217;ve posted to this site&#8230; and even longer since I have made anything.

		<title>Old school printmaking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I was in Brooklyn I picked up this old 1950&#8242;s Cub Printer. Every facet of this printer is awesome, from the small rubber letters, to the simple type work on the box and manual. I can&#8217;t wait to actually test this little machine and make something retro. Stay tuned for the results!]]></description>
