Droppin' David Lance Goines on Ya'll
As most of you know I’m not one to name drop. Not because I don’t want people to think I’m cool but because I have a tragic name forgetfulness handicap. However, one name I can’t forget to mention (especially since so many of us love posters as a creative medium) is my good friend David Lance Goines who lives in the center of the civilized world (aka Berkeley, Ca.) and has been creating fabulous posters for about as long as you might expect it would take him to become the erudite fellow he is. You may be familiar with his design for Ravens Wood Winery. The poster for Carducci and Herman Landscape Architects is a favorite of mine and one of my prized possessions. Check out his site, find your own favorites and click on poster thumbnails to see enlargements and lots of great background information. Some of them are even available for purchase.
On Wednesday four of the six of us got together to drink some beer, eat some pizza, and play with sharp objects. The result? A short run of linocut prints now available in our shop.
We made a big mess, got ink all over everything, and decided we should do this once a month or so – we’ll be doing short run prints in between our bigger prints.
There are some more pictures of our evening here.
Here’s a bonus one of an intently working Gordon and slightly less intense Jessica.
On the subject of screenprints
Since we’ve been discussing screenprinting our next batch of prints, I’ve been checking out all sorts of screen prints that are available. Lowercase just put out some new prints that combine screenprinting with one of a kind customization. They’re pretty sweet.
Our prints are up, our prints our up!
Go look!
