Hi Dave,
This sounds awesome! One of my main motivations for being involved with the
print shop is that I get to pretend I'm a press op in a steam punk universe
:D
Due to finals and IAP starting late (Jan 7th) I don't think I can guarantee
that this would happen before January 12th, but I can try. I'm definitely
interested in making these happen (do you still need them after Jan 12th?
I'm a little unclear...).
So if this is okay with you, I would be happy to talk designs.
One caveat: you'll have to tell me about your character :)
YiLFS,
-Alex
Press Shop Manager
