2010 Cards

I went into the Letterpress studio on Saturday to make cards for 2010. I went in not knowing what I was going to do but 2010 was obviously the theme. I used the vast array of wood type and just began playing around. First with the large FUTURE text because we all know 2010 is officially when flying cars make their debut and flying cars = The Future! Also we’re in the decade that Marty McFly arrives from the past. Can you believe we’re finally going to get hoverboards!?

Anyways, I played around with different colors and varied the amount of ink on press. Double sided of course. I then looked around for some numbered type and laid that out to overprint. I love the layered look! So fun. I then took the master sheets and cut them up into cards to send out. I couldn’t resist keeping some master sheets to hang on my wall though. Printed all on Crane Lettra Pearl white.

Holiday Letterpress Time

It’s Holiday time and I decided to make my own cards (that’s me on the left and my wife on the right) since I have access to some letterpresses now. I had the plates made and booked some time on the presses.

This is my first go at printing anything “real” myself and I’m quite pleased with the outcome. I was a little worried about aligning the 2 plates since it had to be done by hand but it came out nice. After I was comfortable printing I decided to have fun with different inks, blind hits and wiping most ink off the rollers so only a slight tint printed. Super fun and can’t wait to print more projects. Next time I’m going to utilize the huge array of wood and metal type.

F-U-N

Unicorn Type Museum

Web Museum of wood type and ornaments from Unicorn Graphics. I’m getting ready to print at The Arm NYC this weekend which has an array of wood and metal type to choose from, although I got a couple plates made through Boxcar Press. I might experiment with overprinting some wood type over my designs if I have time.

Bauhaus at MOMA

Bauhaus is at the MOMA! First time the MOMA has had a major exhibition on the Bauhaus since 1938. Got to see the member’s preview and it was amazing to see all this work I studied back in school up close and personal.

It’s up until the end of January so if you’re ever in NYC I highly recommend a visit. I’ll most definitely be going back a few times.
