David Bowie Moonage Daydream Print

I am pretty obsessed with David Bowie. This is my first time printing a woodblock on a Vandercook press, and it was pretty awesome. Actually, the blue layer is just carved out of a placemat, the black layer is a woodblock, and the text is lead type. These are my four favorite Bowies: 60's mod Bowie, Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, and Labyrinth Bowie. WOOOO!

And if you've been wondering what I've been up to, you can watch my video blog to see my new apartment and roommates or watch me gossip about Andy Warhol.

Letterpress and Litho Prints!

Hello there! After an unfortunate camera-fixing-related hiatus, here are a few litho prints I've done recently. This one's done with a pronto plate:

And here's a small little letterpress flier I printed with hand-set wood type. These projects were kind of made to learn about lithography and letterpress processes, so look out for more interesting and complex things later!
