Our Story
Human directed.
Digitally realized.
Old Union Paper & Press was born from a simple belief: that vintage art and modern tools can coexist without sacrificing soul. Every print we make starts with a human vision and ends with a piece worth hanging on your wall.
Not mass-produced digital slop.
Quality first, always.
We live in an era where anyone can type a prompt and generate an image. But generation is not creation. At Old Union Paper & Press, every design is the product of a deliberate creative partnership — a human hand guiding the tools, curating the results, and rejecting anything that doesn't meet the standard.
Our process is simple but intentional. We start with a theme — a national park, a vintage stadium, a hand-drawn map, a city's architectural soul. We direct the tools with specificity: composition, color palette, era, mood. And we iterate until the result feels right. Not every piece makes the cut. The ones that do are the ones we'd want in our own homes.
This is not a content mill. It's a press. And like any press worth its ink, we stand behind every piece that leaves the shop.
Meet the Owner
Cory Christian
I'm Cory Christian — the owner and idea guy behind Old Union Paper & Press. I've always been fascinated by vintage art, especially mid-century travel posters that celebrated the intrigue and romance of the journey. There's something about that golden era of design that captures a feeling of possibility — the idea that the next destination is always worth discovering.
I spent 25 years working in the airline industry before finding my way to opening this shop. My time in aviation lead to destinations both near and far. Much of my inspiration comes from those journeys — the places I've been, the things I've seen, and the stories etched into the architecture, landscapes, and roadside markers along the way. I can't wait to share my adventures with you, one print at a time.
Curated, Not Generated
Every design is chosen and directed by a human eye. Digital is the brush, not the artist.
Quality Over Quantity
We'd rather offer ten exceptional prints than a hundred mediocre ones. Every piece is held to the highest of standards.
Made to Be Shared
Our prints are designed to be displayed, gifted, and talked about. Art that sparks a reaction.
