"Battle in Vain" by John DoeWe're big believers that there should be no specific purpose for a paper. Some watercolor papers are great for drawing. Some printmaking papers are widely used in invitations. Even Yupo - a synthetic paper - turns out to be great to watercolor.
So we're always surprised that more artists haven't turned on to Plike. We saw this seven color screenprint from UK artist John Doe and thought we'd share.
Gorgeous block print by Denver-based artist Jason Thielke on Rives Lightweight. 19x26; Edition of 50.
Another new print from a Legion favorite, Dan Wood at DWRI Letterpress.
Printed in newly-cast metal type on Somerset Book 175gsm Softwhite and available framed or unframed at Tiny Showcase.
Artists have to start somewhere. As art programs are being cut in schools around the country, we do our best to support local schools. We wanted to share this nice letter we received from a public school in NYC.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind support of the Art room. I know you totally understand what an enormous difference working on such high quality paper makes and I could never thank you enough! I really can't express what a huge difference your paper makes to my lessons. I feel so lucky to be able to use such quality materials with the kids...thank you!
