BRUNO PRESS

Mary Bruno (owner of Bruno Press) is an interesting person. By interesting we mean:

FUNNY
CREATIVE
PROVOCATIVE
EDGY
BEGUILING
INTELLIGENT
OUTSPOKEN
RACY
SPICY
ENCHANTING

There are some people in life YOU JUST GOTTA MEET. Mary is one of them. 


Anyway........ Mary is an artist who uses Letterpress Printing to create outrageous Greeting Cards, Postcards, Posters, Art Prints, Broadsides and Invitations. Letterpress Printing was invented by Johannes Gutenberg circa 1440 (Yeah, over 500 years ago). Letterpress art is crisper than offset litho because its' impression on paper gives greater visual definition to both the type and the artwork. Letterpress Printing requires a high degree of craftsmanship. It excels at fine typography, resulting in artful and textured product.


Mary's Art is beautiful. It is also sometimes outrageous. She calls herself "an equal opportunity offender". If you are easily offended, DO NOT visit her website.
