ABOUT MATT BUTLER. PRINTMAKER. DESIGNER. GINGER.
The Matt Butler has been creating kick-ass, handmade goods since 2009. He specializes in linocut prints and greeting cards, the subjects of which are influenced by his sense of humor and love of bikes, typography, and Southern culture. Matt began life in the rolling hills of North Carolina playing in the woods and sometimes being made fun of for being a ginger. The woods and bullies of his youth toughened Matt up and turned him into the sassy, hand-crafter he is today. Matt is currently based in Berkeley, CA, the epicenter of liberalism and drum circles. But don’t worry, all the sharing of feelings and hand holding haven’t softened Matt too much. He’s still printing with wit and sass to spare. When he’s not pulling prints, you might be able to find him on his bike, climbing some rocks, or cooking dinner for friends.

LINOCUT PRINTS. These are linocut prints. Each one is made by hand using a block of linoleum that Matt carved with tools he inherited from his grandfather. The carving creates a giant rubber stamp. Ink is rolled onto this block and a damp piece of paper is placed on top. The block and paper are rolled through a printing press that applies a great deal of pressure. The paper stretches around each mark carved into the block giving the final print depth and a distinctly hand-made look. Digital prints ain’t got shit on these things. Each print is individually numbered and signed by Matt. They are packaged in a clear, poly sleeve with a protective backerboard. A label is affixed to the back that explains the process.

GREETING CARDS. A2, blank inside, and includes a Kraft Envelope!!! $2.50, minimum 6 per design
These might look like normal greeting cards but they are not. These letterpressed pieces of folded paper are stuffed so full of sass, wit, and attitude that they should be used with extreme caution.

Dearest Reader, We poured our heart, soul, and at least 15 minutes of time into this catalog. We hope you enjoyed it. Maybe you laughed. Maybe you cried. Possibly both? What an emotional rollercoaster that must have been. If for some crazy reason you didn’t enjoy it, well, you must be a really terrible person. What’s that like? Love,
