About
Living the dream in the middle of nowhere
1canoe2 is an illustration and letterpress studio operating out of a little red barn in Columbia, Missouri. In 2009, two childhood friends purchased their first full-size press and 1canoe2 was born. The name represents a spirit of kinship, heartland roots, and memories of canoe trips and campfires along Missouri streams with "one canoe, two girls." Everything made in the cheerful 1canoe2 studio stems from a deep appreciation of life's natural beauty. Their popular line of gifts and stationery has appeared in Anthropologie, Paper Source, Papyrus, Uncommon Goods, and over 1000 independent boutiques across the country and around the world.

Shop policies
Can I pay for custom letterpress artwork?
Letterpress is a very old, very cumbersome technique. What makes it so cool is what also makes it hard to create custom items. For each print or design you see here, we first design a plate for the design that costs roughly $60. We then spend approximately 3 hours setting the press up, mixing the ink, printing, and then cleaning the plates. For this reason, we normally print between 100 and 400 of our designs at a time. Imagine if we did all that work for one print! We'd be broke, and more importantly, we'd never have time to create more awesome original artwork for you!
Can you customize any of your prints or cards?
All of our prints and cards are available only in the colors and size shown on the photographs in each of the listing. We realize it’s disappointing that we can’t customize these in all of the many ways (other sizes, other colors, other phrases/sayings) we get requests for, but we have to have time to design and print more great drawings we (and you) love.
