Machine Project Benefit Tickets

   Today I completed printing event tickets for Machine Project , a non-profit community space in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles investigating art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature, and food.  In their storefront on North Alvarado street they produce events, workshops, and site-specific installations using hands-on engagement to make rarefied knowledge accessible.  Outside of the storefront, they operate as a loose confederacy of artists producing shows at locations ranging from the Santa Monica beach to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. They are currently developing a year long project (starting in January 2010) exploring how visitors experience the Hammer Museum.
   These tickets are for a benefit event being held to help raise support for this Los Angeles gem. For more information, please visit their website.
   The tickets were printed on heavy card stock using Bembo metal type.

The final product!


Delirium from hours of printing makes you see a strange water creature...
