In the summer of 2011 I had the opportunity to goto Two Rivers Wis, and do a week long workshop in the Hamiltion Wood Type Museum. I already had extensive experiance with printing and letter press but little could prepare me for the wood type wonderland that aweighted me.
I hope you enjoy looking through this sample of work and if you get the chance go to Hamilton, if not at least check out their site http://woodtype.org/ where you can get all sorts of cool Hamilton related things.
My homage to to the dirt track
One of the copies of this print are currently in the Hamilton collection
The following pieces were inspired by the logo for the Misfits. I drew the skull and cut the stencil feeehand. The technique involved printing a solid or a background then placing the stencil under the page to be printed for the second color, in this case black. This is called a blind emboss and causes the paper to buckle and raise away from the printing surface.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work, and I hope you liked some of it. As always follow and appreciate!
