Hey Windy City! We're showing new work in your town this weekend. 

Today it's easy to preach about the power of collaboration but the Chicago Art Department puts these words into action. Power in Numbers an international poster show presenting what multiplicity, collectivism, and ubiquity means to the poster designer. The show opens on Friday, March 11 at 7pm and runs until March 25th. We'll have a limited number of prints for sale at the show, and the remainder will be for sale in our shop Monday morning.

If you're wondering what we printed up, here's a little taste. 

Moving Day

In January I moved out to Seattle and began an internship at Tether—a place filled with great people doing cool work for cool clients. I knew this was going to be a swell place to be when stalking them on flickr I came across some shots of a Vandercook tucked away in a corner just begging to have some LEGO tossed in it's bed. After a 2,500 mile drive and 1,000 cranks I'm no longer missing the Universal 3 back home.

Tomorrow we are moving that very naked Sp-15 up there it to a new, bigger space that we'll be setting up as the Tether printshop v2 in the coming weeks. Upgrade!

2011 has been a busy year. I made a move out to Seattle while Sam is back in Raleigh wrapping up his final semester at the College of Design. But we are still printing strong on both coasts.

On March 14th we'll be releasing Series 3 which will include the biggest print we've done, one of the smallest, one of the most delicious, and one of the geekiest. If you want to be the first to find out when they'll be available, make sure to hop on the email list.

Can't wait to share them with everybody.

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.
