more SUNBURNS

Here are a new color versions of Emily Joyce's Sunburn prints, as mentioned before in the post "Sunburn". As you can see, we have a new intern in tow, former Tamarind Alum, Myungwon Kim!  She just moved here to Southern California from Philadelphia. Could there a better way to become introduced to the Los Angeles art-making scene, than through the sunny-disposition of Emily's prints?

My color match samples were flower-shaped!

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!

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?!

New print with Emily Joyce

More eyeballs!!!

We completed another session of Emily's crazy crazy prints!  This one is half the size as the others shown previously.  It is a semi-square format measuring 47.5 " x 55".  This is one of my favorites!

After drying, the prints are carefully rolled onto glassine-lined tubes

Emily Joyce-EYEBALLS!!!!!

Hello everyone.

I wanted to share some pictures from a project I recenly completed with an artist named Emily Joyce. Emily was referred to me by a former teacher of mine from Otis, Melissa Thorne. She called me just as I returned back from Tamarind. Her work is very similar to the pictures below in scale and imagery, but are made up of vinyl stickers stuck to a mylar-like material called Duralar. The problems she was facing were hours and hours spent cutting, and the vinyl was working it's way off of the Duarlar as temeratures changed. How to solve such problems? SCREENPRINT them!

As you can see this was a crazy ambitious project to start, but clearly fun and exciting.

As the prints took shape we became hypnotised by the optic spinning eyeballs. Hours of taping, exposing, mixing, figuring out registration tools, blow drying, cleaning, testing, cupcake eating, pandora serching, muscle spasms...with the help of many assistants, and the Otis printmaking lab, we completed 3- 55" x 88" prints, 1800 pulls, close to 70 hours of work. And they are beautiful!!!!
