I’ll keep the suspense somewhat heightened, so I’ll just put this here:
DIY Bride Having Fun In The Press
An old regular from the Bow & Arrow brought in a friend who was looking to print her own wedding invitations. Great fun was had by all!
Marfa Cards for The Marfa Store
I’m working with the gallery inde | jacobs in their new venture The Marfa Store to create cards and images based on the iconic West Texas town, home of magical lights, the movie Giant, and the conceptual artist Donald Judd. I’ll be finishing up the foldeover A2 cards and postcards this weekend, for the big opening at the end of June. Here are three samples for your perusement.
Some Fun Press Shots
Nothing too exciting this week, here are some shots of the Press from the last couple of classes.
Bernhard Modern and APA Bundle
Just a couple of pics from the last week… An action shot of distributing the new 8, 10 and 12pt Bernhard Modern, and a dynamic arty shot of my new APA bundle print.
The Itinerant Printer at Reflex!
Last weekend Chris Fritton, the Itinerant Printer, stopped by for a demo while in the Boston area. He printed a type-interaction piece and talked about his work and travels with the folks that came out to see him. Pictures below!
MOAR TYPE CASES
I finally bit the bullet and got yet another type cabinet with included California type cases. I think this will finally get a handle on the wood type cases that are floating around the shop and all the wood type that’s still stored in Tupperwares.
Don’t forget, the Printers Happy Hour is in ten days!
More Classes, Happy Hour!
A quick shot of a class project from the weekend:
And a reminder that the Reflex Letterpress Happy Hour is coming up!
APA Prop Card
I’m not sure how many people actually read the news blog, so I feel safe that posting my APA prop card here won’t be too much of a spoiler. Gonna mail them off this weekend.
Some Pics of the Walls
Classes are going great, people are waking up from the winter, and I may get more type in soon. The space has been evolving, with some artwork up on the walls from Tugboat Printshop, Starshaped Press, and Mindhue Studio. I figured I’d do a more environmental post this week, so you can see the space.
