Game Over 4


Sam and I were both super psyched when we found out that Giant Robot SF was going to be including a print of ours in their video game inspired art show. I'll be heading down there for a long weekend to crash with some friends, so if you are in SF, you should pop in and see some artistically artistic things on paper and say hello. 

We've been getting some questions into how the print was made considering the trim size is 18"x 40" and you won't often find a letterpress that can accomodate that size sheet. We designed the print to be run through twice—a top half and bottom half. After the top half was printed, we reset our base, flipped our paper, and ran the bottom half off. Peep the below images if letterpress is your kinda thing.
