Nobrow and progress

Here are more really great things that I like. I've been busy stalking Nobrow for about a year now, and here are some fancy pieces by Nobrow Small Press (their more hands-on, screen printing division) and some illustrators.

Sounds to Learn by Brecht Vandenbroucke

A lot going on, but I like the substitution of hot pink for red/magenta. Something I'm thinking about to make my screen prints resemble the overlays I've seen in riso

Bela Lugosi book and print by Paul Paetzel

Great great color

The Hand by Luke Best (one of my tutors from Camberwell)

I really like this because printing in only two colors calms the composition down a lot. Good to keep in mind when I start planning how many colors I want to use in each publication.

And many, many more. I can't stop looking at it.

Here's the days-worth of what I've been doing for IP:

Today has been an awful day filled with math, calculating how much paper I need and how big and how many spreads I can fit per sheet, not to forget the $$$ part. Then there's the lovely planning for how I cut my paper (to maximize the # of spreads) and how that has to correlate with the size of my screen, and how I plan to lay out images when exposing (maximizing potential for printing multiple spreads in the same color at once). Its pretty much been terrible, especially when I discovered I ordered screens that would be too small, and not the right type of 'screen' for paper printing. I've also been looking into exhibition options, which is just way too fun to even describe. It all makes the art-making part way more awesome sounding, and I can't wait to get down to the drawing.
