Cookin' Grits.

This post, almost in its entirety, will be photos of my walk through tour of book works.

Feast yo' eyes.

Loverly Ms. Jessica of Springtide Press in the pink. Her and Chandler O'Leary of Anagram Press (an AMAZING illustrator) did a enthralling talk on their collaborative dead feminist print series. They we're part of the small west coast contingent of peeps at the conference. REPRESENT.

Needless to say, I was more than enamored with everything in the studio. I was reprimanded for drooling on the equipment but there was no harm done so they let me come back the next day. I was also able to grab a couple shots of some of the work of fellow members of L of L, I can't wait to show you some of their creative prints!

Taylor is Graduating!

My cousin Taylor is graduating from high school!

WOOHOO!

She was kind enough to ask me to design some announcements for her. Here's a little glimpse.

These cards were screen printed with a gorgeous red infused purple, one of Taylor's favorite shades of purple...and mine too.

I love the texture that is created by the dried paint.

The handmade aspect gives it a nice personal touch.

I really enjoy the play between the typographical forces in this print. The type allows for variety in a solo color print.

The prints came in droves.

Printed quick and painless.

One of my favorite things about printing is mixing my own colors to print with.

Speaking of color, here is my next clue.

clue #3

These lovely swatches are used as a formula guide for mixing PANTONE specific colors.

The swatches work exceptionally well with Von Son rubber based inks.

Samson is a little anxious to use them.

Worse comes to worse, I can use them to cool myself off in the summer.
