80's - 90's hip hop + letterpress + Somerset = we need to add these to our collection.
Every Paper Jam Press poster is hand-pulled through a Vandercook letterpress, set with turn-of-the-century gothic wood type. Each poster comes out just a little bit different, and we like it that way.
The amazing Bruce Waldman created this piece in about 45 minutes in front of a group at the new Chelsea NYC Dick Blick store. Since he didn't have a press, Bruce was not able to perform the final step in the process, which was to pull an actual print on paper. What you see above is the ink on plexiglas.
Join us Thursday (August 29) at 11:30am at the new Chelsea NYC Dick Blick for a free printmaking demo by Bruce Waldman. Bruce will be explaining his techniques, workflow and, of course, the Revere and Stonehenge paper he uses to create his masterpieces.
