Church of Type A What Youth Original by Jeremy Asher Lynch

β€œA master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play,” said French writer Chateaubriand. β€œHe simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.”

Enter the beautiful world of Kevin Bradley, a Knoxville, Tennessee native and owner of Santa Monica print shop Church of Type. His passions for letters, for printing, for living are infectious and we’re obsessed. In what many feel is a dead or dying or whatever business (printing), Kevin continues to thrive and create beautiful works of art at his zany workshop along the coast. We met Kevin through filmmaker Jeremy Asher Lynch and promptly told him to introduce Kevin to everyone we know. Hit play and allow us to formally introduce you.
