"Airlift" printing continues!

Pandora's Box Art Print and other things




Worked up a small art print edition of the image from the recent poster I made for Witch. Pandora's Box is a 4 color screenprint with metalic gold inks. 19 x 25 paper size , printed on French Chocolate Brown Construction. signed and numbered edition of 80. I've included a couple of photos here in hopes that I can somewhat give an idea of how the color pops off the paper. This looks really nice in person. I also made a subscriber only edition in Deep Crimson that also looks pretty damn sweet.

I have this edition for sale in my Etsy shop, natch.

Printing has proceeded on "airlift" , more updates tomorrow. Here's a peek at the first layer, as subtle Blue split fountain.

For $30 you get a random shirt just in time for spring(one that I have not sold online!), 2 test prints/scratch and dents and 2 posters from 2000-2007. Its a pretty good deal for some cool swag. If you like dragons and dogs,you'll like the shirts...

Today! Live! Layer! Tennis!



Our friends at Coudal Partners invited the very talented Phineas Jones and myself to partake in todays Layer Tennis Match.
We will be doing the all-analog edition as we push paper BACK AND FORTH AT EACH OTHER in a battle to the finish. Or something. Either way what better way to while away the hours of 2-4 pm today? Should be fun.

"Ash" art print

As promised, here is the art print edition of the MBD poster image.

Ash is a 3 color screenprint. Printed on Stonehenge Cream and White 100% Rag paper in editions of 125, this print is massive at 22 x 30 inches. I ended up hand printing this due to a few complications with the size of this image creating some havoc with my autopress. When you have to hand print something, make it count by doing something REALLY FREAKING HUGE. Good to get a workout in on a spring-like day in any instance.

The vacuum table at the shop came in very very handy with this one.

Metallic Copper/Gold edition:



Metallic Blue/Silver Edition:



These are both for sale now in my Etsy shop.
