woodblock poster

I finished up the awesome class that I took at Firecracker Press last night. I got my posters all inked & printed up! So happy with how they turned out... Photoshop can't even come close to replicating the actual texture that these guys have. I just love that 'noise'.

Here's a shot of the carved block on the press.


And here's a shot of the first couple of proofs!


Don't miss this show. Its gonna be fun.

Here's a preview of a hand-carved woodblock plate for a poster that i'm currently working on. This is a project that I'm in the middle of for a printmaking class at Firecracker Press that I'm taking. I get access to all of their vintage printing presses during the class!! So awesome! I'll post more pics as I get it finished up. cheers.

been a while since i've posted anything. my bad. honestly, its probably going to stay this way until the end of the semester or if somehow 5 more hours get added to the day. been busy hanging with family, traveling out of the country, teaching, and making fires in my backyard. priorities, ya know.
here's a little something i did for this stl show coming up. go see these bands.

My students rule!

below is a collaborative poster that my students completed this semester as part of my 'illustrative lettering' project. each student contributed a letter that they created. the letters were then combined to make the final poster design. the basic concept is that if you only read the RED areas of the design it reads HELP HAITI... and when both colors are read together, you get HELP SAVE HUMANITY.

a hand-pulled screenprinted signed & numbered edition of 50 posters is now for sale at www.thehaitiposterproject.com. (direct link to our poster is HERE) all proceeds from poster sales will be donated to doctors without borders.
