Sunburns

Here are pictures taken of Emily Joyce's newest prints made just before her solo show, New Math, at Inman Gallery in Houston, Texas.  We will be giving a talk about our collaborative process the day after the opening.  The show runs from September 10th-October 23, 2010.
The talented Maryanne Williams did such a great job taking these pictures, which is why I had to post so many!

The stack of grads' books with a "belly band" made of collagd printing elements

Otis's very first MFA Graphic Design class graduated this Summer!  The talented group of 7 gave away these books at their thesis show to advertise the work they had done in the program. They had asked me to print the screenprinted portions of the books in Cyan and black on chip board. Great work everyone, Congratulations!!!

Pittman-Van Leeuwen Wedding Invitations

Here is a look at a Wedding invitation packet I printed for my friend Cira. Her mother, Kathleen Pittman, a Graphic Designer, designed the whole thing. The gold ink letterpressed on champagne textured cardstock looked beautiful with the Italian patterned envelope liners.

Starbursts--at LACE

Emily Joyce participated in Hollywood MerchmART at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions to kick off the Summer! The show, curated by Emma Gray, transformed LACE’s storefront space into an artist-created souvenir shop with price points between $1-$200! Check it out if you get the chance, it'll be up all Summer! A deal is so much sweeter in the Summer.
Here you can see our first official edition printed together, variable edition that is. 25 different 20" x 20" posters in 5 colors of paper and 6 colors of ink. Aren't they fun?!

Summer Titone's Summer 2010

Summer asked me to print the artwork of her friend, Alex, onto clothing she has designed and sewn for her newest Summer clothing line. I had to simplify the paintings to be translated into screenprints, but I think they still carry the essence of the original artwork pretty well. The clothes was featured at a show at New Puppy Gallery in LA, this July. Her website is summertitone.com, and her clothes can also be purchased through Etsy. Have a look!

They were screenprinted on BFK Rives, off-white.

Design help was provided by the very talented Jocelyn Muhlbach at Petit Bureau.

PARROT 2,3 & 4

Matthew Timmons and I printed 3 more editions of titles from the PARROT series.  This fantastic collaborative effort  is described well in the previous post, PARROT 1, and can be subscribed to by visiting InsertPress.Net.
The newest additions include writing by authors Harold Abramowitz, Allison Carter and Joseph Mosconi. There are many more editions to print! And, if you are interested in these gems, grab them while they are still here! Amazing talent here, really!

Roussau Walks--Phase 2

 Our first intern, Maiya! 

 One of the most important things to consider when working on a large scale printing project, is food. Here we are doing what we do-- eating Cobb Salads; the perfect energy food-- in a great atmosphere of kitchy rooster paintings and western font!!!

 

Print  #1

 

  Print #2

As promised, the above are pictures of the remainder of this set of prints--the colorful leaves!  Contrary to what you would believe, each leaf was strategically placed to create these lush bundles of leaf shaped color, revealing mere slivers of the many pairs of eyes printed before. What magical landscapes they are upright!
