Hey everyone!  I got to work on this amazing print for Black Dragon Press and here are some photos of the printing process.  “Leemure” is an 8″x10″ intaglio-type printed here in Philadelphia at Second State Press.  I had help from Kate Vanvliet and Gwenn Kathryn over the two days of printing.  ImagOn allows for an accurate translation of any digitized image.  So I started with a digital scan of the original drawing by Stan Manoukian, translated that into a digital positive, exposed that to the ImagOn plate, developed and proofed.  This work took about three months to complete and I’m thrilled its seeing the light of day. Head over to http://blackdragonpress.co.uk/ for more info on purchasing the edition.

There's a certain time in the Spring in Philadelphia where working with ImagOn is not only still possible but really functional. Two proofs from today.

The Snow Fairies are playing our first show in 10 years the day before we head to NYC to play NYC popfest.  Super excited about this show and I finally get to use this illustration by Marge Farmer that she made for the band back in 2004!.

I started putting together a small zine about the last time I saw Fugazi, back in 2001 at CMU.  I spent the night scanning old photos and doing the layout.  At some point I decided to download the audio of the show from the live series and was flipping through the photos from the show.  Funny enough I found myself in a shot standing behind the amps.  This show was one of the best times I ever saw the band and I’m really glad that my last time seeing them was in my home state.  Many thanks to Shawn Brackbill for helping me get up on stage to photograph the show.

When you make things and you have no idea why or even if you like it. Sometimes you just need to make something to know that you did something today.

What you see are re occurring, non specific marks appearing in the printing process of this plate.  There are three examples above.  I’ve adjusted the direction of the plate in relation to the press bed, i.e. having the plate enter horizontally or vertically, depending on the sketched notes on the photos, and decreased the pressure but the marks keep appearing.  If you have any thoughts on whats causing them please drop me a note.  

The plate is an ImagOn photo polymer plate, printed with Akua carbon black ink onto Hahnemuhle Copper Plate.  The paper is quickly dipped in water and the blotted till an even dampness.

My place of refuge and creativity for the last ten years. This film by Ted Passon is a really great taste of what it means to be connected to Space 1026.
