ISL Refrigerator Art Charity Print

2010-10-07T14:15:00.000-07:00

Designed and printed by julia juliette press and art directed by the patient Jennifer Schumacher. I was commissioned by the International School of Louisiana, New Orleans, to be their 2010 patron artist.

About 200 refrigerator drawings later I became inspired by a retro-styled illustration and then layered nine other silhouettes of patterned refrigerators (to make 10 total!) Hand-drawn type, printed in 3 colors but creating 4 colors by overlapping the blue and yellow (while the ink is still wet!). Printed with love in an edition of 200.

2009-09-29T19:11:00.000-07:00

it is a double-sided business card on 220lb. stock (heavy!) with knock-out white type on one side. the knock-out white was intense because the type was so thin and there was just a ton of ink on the plate (as you can see). in the end the type popped, and the black was a rich black... whew!
