The blog has been on the lowdown recently due to ill-health and lack of fuel . Kicking things off once again. Designers workspaces I find inspiring or just look cool.

It’s a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Regards, David.”

3 X MUTHA-FUNKIN’ FIRST CLASS DEGREES FOR OUR BOYS. MEGA PROUD.

As a bit of fun today we posted a 3D version of our logotype on the college walls of Edinburgh College of Art. We have had a really fun year with all the year-groups involved, and it is sad to say goodbye. We love you guys!

“One of the hidden gems of screen-printing is the beauty of the “test print.” Because screen prints are created one color, one layer at a time, the artists often test each layer before they start the print run. They often use left over prints, pages from old runs, and even misprinted paper. The test prints slowly gather more and more layers of color and artwork from dozens of different jobs. It’s not unusual for a test print to find itself run through the press more than two dozen times. The resulting prints are always unique and are always surprising. Because test prints are a pragmatic by-product of the actual printing process, these pieces of art contain a spontaneous and reckless emotion that is impossible for an artist to plan. Once a print is started no one knows exactly what the end results will look like. The process itself allows for so much randomness that the imperfections are embraced rather than shunned and accidents frequently become the highlight of the piece.”

- Eric Nyffeler and Michael Nielsen, curators of “Fuck Up” exhibition in Nebraska; an ode to the test print.

These guys put together a 16 layer print with the test prints from the artists in their show. Sweeeeet. (via: For Print Only)

4 layers/11 layers

14 layer/16 layers
