Another letterpress collab

Ninja February 25th, 2008

Ophelia Chong & I are joining forces again! Here’s a peek at our next letterpress collaboration—a bit belated toast for this Chinese New Year (the year of the rat).

Here is my pen sketch.

And here is the charcoal drawing that will be used for the letterpress plate.

I can’t wait to see what she does with it! Serif or sans serif type? Metal or wood? Oh the possibilities.

If you missed it, here is our first letterpress collaboration for your viewing pleasure.

Letterpress love

Ninja February 20th, 2008

My collaborative letterpress prints with Ophelia just came in! And oh, the colors!

The multi-talented and uber-nice Ms. Ophelia Chong cranked these puppies out with love on her Vandercook press. They are simply gorgeous! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, OPHELIA!!!

Spreading the letterpress love
I’m going to give out a letterpress print (one of the larger prints featuring Ophelia’s hair and her signature wooden type) to two NvP readers. Just leave a comment with your name and email address. The drawing ends on March 4. The two winners (chosen at random) will be announced on March 5.

My first letterpress print

Ninja February 8th, 2008

I got less than 4 hours of sleep, but I’m now quite caffeinated. I’ve got a huge, goofy grin on my face over the thought of my first collaborative letterpress print! Well, ok, first letterpress print, ever. The lovely Ms. Ophelia Chong wrote me saying that she loved my hair portraits, so I offered to do one of her. When she sent me her photo, I knew I was going to have fun drawing. She’s got this chunky, layered look that I’m quite fond of.

I couldn’t really make out much detail from her photo, so I made some of it up. ~__^

Ophelia is getting the plate made as we speak. As for the print, she will print out the hair in one color, then add a layer wood block or metal type in another color. To top it off, she will then run the first prints through for a second color.

THANK YOU, Ophelia! ^_______^

Yay,
Ninja
