Almost done with the postcard for the show at Adam Baumgold Gallery, which opens May 14. This is a crappy phone photo - I'll scan it in when it's done.

I'm super happy with the printing/binding/feel of the whole thing. Yippee!

]]>New Ternky Towers posterhttp://www.teplin.com/blog/2010/2/9/new-ternky-towers-poster.htmlScott Teplin2010-02-09T21:37:11ZI think this will, somehow, sometime, be turned into a letterpress print. Probably. At the very least it'll be (part of) the announcement for my show at Adam Baumgold Gallery this May. And I'll watercolor it, eventually.pen and ink

]]>Internationalisticnesshttp://www.teplin.com/blog/2010/1/29/internationalisticness.htmlScott Teplin2010-01-30T01:03:08ZBangArt magazine from Italy has a feature on my crash series. I can't read Italian - so I hope what they said inside isn't mean.

BEASTS! has been published in Chinese, for, uh, CHINA! See the freshly designed cover below by the editor and hugely talented designer Jacob Covey, below (Frantagraphics art director - the best name in comics publishing).

 My contribution for BEASTS! was The Loathly Worm:

....and finally, my crash drawings will be featured in the March 2010 issue of a Russian glossy magazine focusing on "toys for men" (I'm assured that it isn't naughty - but instead translates more closely to "fancy cars for rich men").

 

]]>Poster - line art (pre color)http://www.teplin.com/blog/2010/1/29/poster-line-art-pre-color.htmlScott Teplin2010-01-30T00:11:21ZThis is the poster I designed for the book, which is going to given away to the "raddest" American bookstores in (those that are independent, cool, and sell McSweeney's lit). We were originally going to do a crappy color copy poster, but then we thought, "yuck." Next we thought producing a glicee print. But since I'm a complete snob and not too down with computer/ink-jet prints with fancy names, we thought - SILKSCREEN! But then I remembered I'm friends with Phil Sanders - the master printer for the venerable Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. They primarily work with etching and hand-pulled lithography. I'm a sucker for fine-art printing - I studied litho and etching in undergrad and grad school - and my dad used to deal in antique prints. So we went with 2-color lithographs - in an edition of 150, and maybe an alternative edition with different colors of 100 after that.

It'll be in newsprint-colored paper, made to look kind of blue-printy - in blue ink, while the title in the center will be a bright, emerald green. That little scroll on the bottom of the frame is left blank because I plan on writing the name of each store inside of it. I think we are also going to make a special edition of 12 with gold ink for contest winners (or something along those lines - Charlie Bucket-esque). The particular frame for this one is an alternate one that I drew for the back cover:- but didn't use because my initial measurements for it were wrong, wrong, wrong. Duh, me.
