In case you were wondering, this is what I've been doing lately. For the most part at least. Nicole and I just spent two and a half weeks of grueling print marathon. We just finished up a set of wedding invitations for a good friend. Running into almost every conceivable problem with the silkscreen process, we wound up replacing most of our set-up at home while problem solving and eliminating variables. After finally finishing the project, we now have to go back and change an address. So...the fun isn't over yet. While I love printing and am extremely excited about getting Nightingale Press off the ground (we are currently working on our first "real" job as well!), this particular project has been a bit of an ordeal and a great learning experience for getting our print shop running smoothly. We've also been able to learn a lot about timing and working with clients.
Needless to say, I haven't been able to get very much art or reading done in over two weeks. Damn. This really threw me off my routine, but I'm glad to report that I'm back on it and feeling pretty good. I'm getting excited about some new drawings I'm doing of architectural spaces/details that I'll post images of as soon as I have a group from which I can select a number of good ones.
These are the direction cards for Erin and Jon's invitations. We now also have a blog up for Nightingale Printing Press until we get the means to make/buy a website.
