daniel danger says post your non-gigposter artwork

[vrooooom]

Well, I've stayed out of this thread so far, but I thought I'd share on a project I did with my girlfriend for her health zine class:



Grabbing Good Health by the Balls is a door-hangy pamphlet/zine with guidelines on self-administered testicular exams. One of the funnt aspects of this project was making sure that it wasn't biased towards a male audience. Thus, the anatomical diagrams in the zine lack any reference to sex. We're talking disembodied testicals for queers, transgenders, "anybody who has a pair" and so on. Pretty strange.



Ended up being printed pro bono by myself on 140# French paper (Kraft Muscletone) on my platen presses. Actually experimented with dampening the paper to increase the sculptural feel of the impression, since French Paper is a fairly hard sheet. Dampening also helps to create a receptive surface for the inks used in letterpress. This is crucial for getting solid coverage on large solids.



Super stoked with the final results, which were laser die-cut at SAIC and then distributed through the community. I might start dampening all of my projects for letterpress, even though it's a royal pain in the ass.

awesome and hilarious - that means people will pay attention to it as opposed to some generic pamphlet from random hospital or NPO X

Those are the kinds of pamphlets people should be designing! That is really great.

Sorry for unloading so much work. I did a lot this semester and kinda stayed away from gp. Below are photos of my BFA show.

Based on jokes Jim Gaffigan tells about how his dad was a q-tip and his mom was a polar bear. Not official artwork for the New Year's show... artwork is up for review.

Here's a quick little ink and water color illustration that I did the other day of my Grandma's old boston terrier. Now that I can't screen print in the winter I'm having a lot of fun playing around with some water color drawings. I submit this very humbly next to the far superior watercolors of Jacob and other users.

Love the installation, Julia. The individual pieces are excellent.

I think I'll be printing a couple tees this week.
