ILLINOIS---I am excited to announce the establishment of my own private press. I will be the publisher and the principal illustrator, designer and typographer. I will hire pressmen, papermakers and bookbinders as needed for its various projects. My first projects will be broadsides, but my ambition is to produce printed books, inspired by the incunabula and blockbooks of the 15th century that retained the large illustrations, ornamental borders and elaborate versals that characterized illuminated manuscripts. Millefleur Press takes its name from an art historical term for a decorative fill composed of tiny plants and animals, common in late medieval tapestries and in my own artwork. [link]
