Dave Lefner

I've mentioned my admiration for artist Dave Lefner before. Los Angeles based artist who focuses on a style of printmaking called lino reduction. I was "in like" with printmaking before Dave but once I saw his work in person I fell madly, deeply in love and ended up going back to school to learn this technique which then lead me to letterpress. I do what I do today because of him, so forgive me if I'm a little over the moon at this video.

I'm great friends with Dave, so I'll make sure that he hears about your post and sweet words. He'll be thrilled to hear that he inspired you so!

Dave and I have chatted before. I almost was able to hire him for a corporate job I had lined up. sadly timing didn't permit us to do so.
