alphabet broadsides
This is an on-going broadside project begun in 2006 to explore some of the possible variations in the relationship between a large letterform used within a confined space and a poem. Three self-imposed limitations are at play. Every broadside will be the same size, the letterform will not be enlarged or reduced from its original size, and the edition size will remain the same. Variations will emerge in type style and size, type of paper, and color. Each edition consists of 75 signed and numbered copies. All are 11 x 17 inches. They are $75 apiece.

sun valley writers’ conference broadsides
Since 2000 Ninja Press has been creating broadsides and chapbooks especially for the benefactors and patrons of The Sun Valley Writers’ Conference held in Sun Valley, Idaho in August of each year. An excerpt from a text is selected from the works of a chosen presenter for that particular year and is rendered into this limited edition. A copy of each broadside is offered as a gift to the standing order patrons of Ninja Press as well. A few copies remain available. Each edition consists of 120 signed copies. All are $75 apiece.
