74 Soundsystem #2 By Halftone Def Studios

Gigposters & Prints OTW, The Art-Mart!!! 1 Comment »

In keeping to the recent accidental theme of black, gold, and khaki posters, We would like to show you the 74 Soundsystem skull poster version 2, BACK IN BLACK. The boys of HTD have had such an overwhelming response to the first version of the 74 Soundsystem skull print that they have decided to reprint it in a different color combo. and now we are gonna show it to ya! Here are all the pics from the printing session and a link directly to the poster in their store. Just a Reminder, these prints are limited to an edition of 50 and they are definitely not printing it again…ever. If you need another reason to purchase one of these bad boys, just remember they are hand screened 2 color posters printed on 80lb cover with white/gold ink at 18 x 24 inches. All these posters are one-off prints which means each is a one-of-a-kind. Due to the nature of the screenprinting process, little imperfections and blemishes are inevitable. Before it joins the rest of the edition, each print is inspected to make sure its meets our quality standards. All prints are signed, stamped and numbered by both Tron & Grease. Get on them while there hot off the press!

To purchase one for $15.00 plus shipping, please click here to enter their online store

If you want to take a closer look check out the whole set on their HTD flickr account.

In addition, she also helps run Cricket Press - a modest, but talented screen printing shop out of Lexington, Kentucky. There’s def. something to be said for keeping an operation small… more control over the entire process is yielding this little cricket a bountiful crop of prints!

THE PROCESS - 3 color Against Me poster!

Gigposters & Prints OTW, The Art-Mart!!! No Comments »

Music

If any of you are curious at all as to what the process of actually screen printing a poster looks like, here are some step by step pics of the Against Me poster we just did with Dog and Pony Showprints. It’s not exact procedure but you will get the idea of what goes into it all. Bet you didn’t know it was straight SCIENCE huh? Emulsions, burning, inks, reclaiming, and all that jazz. But its all worth it in the end to see silver and white ink on black paper. So fresh! Thanks for posting the pics Mr. Tucker.

Welcome to the 35th edition of Screenprints & Gigposters of the week brought to you by HALFTONE DEF STUDIOS. This weeks featured Screenprinters is the Spanish Fly Jordan Crane of Jorge Alderete. Searching through the new uploads on GIGPOSTERS my eye was caught by the Mexican influenced 50’s pop illustration. it’s such a cool twist on an era of american design. I wish his site had these for sell but from the looks of things it’s currently under construction. So for now we will just have to look and enjoy these simple color combos and rgeat overlays.

Screenprints & Gigposters of the week

Welcome to the 34th edition of Screenprints & Gigposters of the week brought to you by HALFTONE DEF STUDIOS. This weeks featured Screenprinters is the twisted romance of jordan Crane of RED INK LIKE BLOOD. Saw these prints on OMG POSTERS and fell in love with not only the subject matter but the detail, size, and color combos. These things range from 11×17 to 26×40 which is freakin huge. And most of them are 4-5 colors and a couple 7’s. The prices also range a bit as well but then again, these are art prints not gigposters, so its expected. Im a little short winded on this post so just check them and you’ll see what I mean with these. Here is a list of links that correspond to the posters above from left to right, top to bottom!

Gigposters of the Week: THE HALF & HALF

Gigposters & Prints OTW 2 Comments »

Screenprints & Gigposters of the week

Welcome to the 33rd edition of Screenprints & Gigposters of the week brought to you by HALFTONE DEF STUDIOS. This weeks featured Screenprinters is none other than the South Carolina Duo of Nick and Sara of THE HALF AND HALF. I first laid eyes on these wonderful prints on a family reunion trip to Columbia South Carolina, and seeing them at a cool little hipster shop in five points made the weekend for me! I must have stood there and stared at them for a good 20 minutes while Marisa shopped only to find out later that their studio was right above the store. And to also prove a point about how small the world is, we were only about two degrees of separation from knowing each other anyway. A former co-worker of mine knows them very well also. So know that you’ve got the back story, here we are. Get a good look at this awesomeness cause you might get to see them at PTS as well.
