What's Happening

Went for a walk in the neighborhood and saw this awesome window display at DijitalFix a very cool design and electronics store here in SF and also in Brooklyn. It's my first time in a window display. Hooray!

I'm very excited to announce I'm printing in the studio again. In preparing for the studio session there's always that upfront planing phase. How much paper to do I need? How many phrases am I printing? Are they phrases I've chosen good enough? I love this part, I love to reflect on all the details, the changes and even the efficiencies in planning. Most of all I love those aha moments that come from considering a set of circumstances repeatedly over time. For the latest edition I had one of those moments and remembered why I started the project in the first place.

I had the idea for Paper Jam while attending the Shepard Fairey show at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston in 2009.  In one of the rooms of this comprehensive survey there was an enormous wall stacked floor to ceiling with what must have been close to a hundred framed posters. I thought to myself...I want to do that. I want to make a wall full of posters. And the number I came up with for Paper Jam was 40. 

Here are our stats to date...prior to our latest edition we had 25. With the edition we have on press right now we're at 38. I think we're going to have to add a couple since we're...so...close!

Thrilled to announce our forthcoming collaboration with Blik Wall Decals on a Paper Jam Press collection that rocks.

The top three reasons we love this collection:

1. The Scale - this is the first time we've done work at this size. Our posters are printed with wood type and each letter is about an inch tall give or take. At this size the work takes on a whole new level of swag.

2. The Color - the new collection is available in 6 colors which we've also never done before.

3. The Phrases - our collaboration includes 18 phrases, 5 of which are brand new.

 More details about the collection coming very soon. And here's to mixing it up and finding such an amazing partner in Blik.
