When visiting Eastern Market last Saturday we had a chance to stop by the letterpress studio Salt & Cedar. The studio, located at the corner of Fisher and Riopelle, boasts 3000 square feet of space. The space will put on workshops on traditional and experimental printing, ‘zine making, book structures, and papermaking. This Sunday will feature a journal making class taught by Leon Johnson.

dennis — Mon, 07 May 2012 09:09:14 +0000

We’re releasing a couple of new art prints in our Etsy Shop that were as part of two local group shows.

The first titled “Down the Rabbit Hole” was for “The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” an Alice in Wonderland themed show at Starkweather Arts Center in Romeo, MI. It is a two color screen print, measures 12″ x 24″, and is of an edition of 40. The show is up now through May 26th, so be sure to swing by the gallery if you’re in the area.

The second print “Supermoon Owl” was for an owl themed group show, “Night Vision”, curated by Con Artist Crew in Grand Rapids, MI. It is a one color screen print, measures 16″ x 20″ and is also of an edition of 40.

Both “Down the Rabbit Hole” and “Super Moon Owl” are priced at $25 and are available in our Etsy Shop now.

Oakleaf and Acorn Hang Tags

dennis — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:26:29 +0000

We were asked by the Oakleaf and Acorn, a wonderful men’s clothing and accessory store based out of Braselton, Georgia to create two hang tags for their store. John, the owner wanted a design that reflected the rustic, yet high quality that all of his products possess. We came up with designs for an ax head and a bottle of whiskey. The tags are two color screen prints on chipboard. We think that the slightly worn textured of the printing combined with the natural imperfections in chipboard represents the hand made aesthetic of everything in his store.

John was awesome to work with, be sure to visit his online store. Or if you’re in the Atlanta area, top by his shop, a converted post office.

Kira Sheker

Kira Sheker has many artistic talents, including illustration, metalsmithing, and novel writing, but my favorite is her talent for photography. Washed out, dreamlike, and sometimes blurred, she often uses vintage cameras and double exposure to achieve these effects.

Eric Carlson

Another awesome submission, this time containing the fantastic work of Eric Carlson. Eric is an illustration and typography genius from Bozeman, Montana. He also has a sneaky, secret love for beautiful infographics, as I found out when I stumbled upon his resume. Good stuff.

Jordan Debney

I love when we get submissions from the other end of the earth. Jordan Debney is a self-taught artist from New Zealand who sent us his illustration portfolio. He describes his drive to create as “a constant need to turn something beautiful into the form of a grotesque creature, usually a creature, which in its abnormal form, is barfing every organ”. Beautiful. If you’re an artist who would like to submit your work for a future blog post, you can email us at heyyouguys [at] perfectlaughter [dot] com.

River’s Edge Gallery put together a huge group show titled “Homage”. Over 60 artists had the chance to pay tribute to another artist through their piece. The opening packed the gallery like I’ve never seen it. There was so much to see and so many people there, this time our photo gallery doesn’t reflect even half of what was on the walls. See it for yourself at the closing reception this Friday, March 16 from 6-10 pm.
