As a side project for the office, I spent quite a bit of time making a letterpress inside-joke parody poster for the chartboost office:

I carved the negative for the crown and bottom decoration out of a block of linoleum [1] (~13h), gathered what little old wood type I could find to print up our ad targeting algorithm[2] (~6h), cut out masks for the punctuation because there's no wood type punctuation at that size and printed the whole thing in by sending each poster 6 times through the press for each part (~7h). It was a fun project.

Yes, I'm a nerd, and I get bored.

[2]: Not really, we'd be a pretty poor ad network if that was it.
