Christmas Cards..........continued..............again!!

So. Here they are.
The first few pictures of my Christmas Cards. I have printed 150 so far, 50 in each colour. Keeps it fair.

I need to make a photopolymer plate for my logo as it isn't setable with any ease so I will get round to printing the revers of my cards this week. But, get your orders in guys!!

Mark Geary's 'Live Love Lost it - NYC' album print

So, finally, here is an image of one of the initial prints that I did for Mark's album cover. Not the best impression ever but I really liked it. I showed it to Mark and he thought the same. Because the album is live and was recorded in NYC, I wanted it to have a raw, urban feel. Much like New York is.

Maybe some of you out there can spot were I have cheated a little bit.
Points go to the first person that spots it!!

Let me know your thoughts people!!

Letterpress and illustration

So, here are a selection of new birthday cards that I have designed. As you can probably tell from the second image, the top of the P and Y perished away whilst printing which I was quite upset about. But I carried on printing regardless. In a way, I am feeling slightly rebellious and I am going to use wooden type that DOESN'T leave a perfect impression. I personally thin that it gives more character to the print. I don't know? Maybe that's just my strange design style!

I wish I had more inks that I could play with but at the moment I only have the green. These were printed on to a 400mic (around 300gsm) white pulb board. It prints beautifully and leaves a small but effective impression on the paper.

I have purposely left some of the letters out so that I could fill them in myself. I plan on merging letterpress and illustration/hand rendered typography. I would like to sell cards this way. maybe even sell some blank for those who are like minded, to fill in the gaps themselves.
