Chicago-area artist Jamie Berger makes up one half of Cranky Pressman (crankypressman.com) along with his brother, Keith Berger, who mans their popular letterpress shop in Salem, OH. Together they produce custom letterpress printing for graphic designers, illustrators, art directors, and creative professionals. Their work has appeared in publications including Little Book of Letterpress (Chronicle 2010), and they were the featured cover artists of the May 2011 issue of How magazine.
