Portland-based letterpress artist, Kyle Durrie is combing two of our loves, travel and printmaking. She is taking her studio on the road this summer, in her printmobile, Moveable Type.

Check out Kyle's site and see if she's coming to a city near you or if your paths will cross on your summer roadtrip.

An American can travel an exceptionally long way before they leave their country. Why doesn't interstate travel count in people's mind as travel? Thoughts?
