Summer Dance 2010

This is it folks, a new, sunny print coming at you from Austin, TX – Lotus’ Summer Dance 2010 gigposter. 60 print edition. 3 colors- brown, white, black on blue paper. Design by yours truly and printed with the good locals at Under Pressure Screen Printing.

This was a good printing experience overall. Some new techniques learned include make do with what you have. We also used a different type of ink this round from TW Graphics. This ink has a very different consistency than I am accustomed to. It almost runs like water. However, I was pleased with the look, feel and quality of the ink once it was dry. I will definitely be experimenting with this ink in the future.

Lotus Spring Tour 2010 Gigposter

We finished up a 200 poster run for the jam band Lotus over three sessions at Under Pressure Screen Printing in South Austin. These three color beauties measure about 19 x 25 inches. We used a natural white paper from OK Paper which really helped the print pop. The natural paper has a creamier, worn or vintage look to it. I’m not too much of a fan of the unnatural finish bright white paper tends to have.
