More Letterpress Mania

I finally thought I ought to upload the prints I pulled from my letterpress adventures. Above is some text locked up in the press. Continue for pictures of the final prints I pulled.

New Toys

Took a nice trip to Highway Supply to get materials instead of going to class.

With my final sculpture project coming up, I realized too late that I need to get materials. Lately I've been working with traffic related images: signs, street cones, etc., so I figured I should go to the source. As far as Albuquerque is concerned it seems like Highway Supply LLC is the place to go.

After talking to several confused employees, I finally talked to a man named Dave who told me to head down and we could talk about what I wanted. My brother and I headed down and had a pleasant conversation with Dave who was curious about how the end result might look. After 20 minutes or so Aaron and I left with 2 reject traffic barrels (only two would fit in the backseat) with the promise of more to come. Now I just need to figure out how to cut/fuse the plastic together...

More pictures after the break.

St. Louis Here We Come!

Leaving in a few hours to go to the SGC International Conference in St. Louis, MO. Just a quick 16.5 hour drive and I'll be there! See everyone when I get back...
