so I'm in hell...


no just Pittsburgh but it feels like hell...

I had an employee quit Wednesday so I jumped on the next flight out from L.A. as we have a ton of big important orders coming up...

so here I sit, alone in the cold while the family is enjoying spring break in Cali....

but to keep me warm I have a new 10 color print to share...

mind you we don't get them often but this is by far the best I have done....

first some background, the Client is Zulu tattoo in LA

http://www.zulutattoo.com/

dude has tattooed Janet Jackson, and she was fine so we'll leave it at that....

anyhow the hard rock cafe is opening some amusement park in south Carolina

http://www.hardrockpark.com/index3.php

inside said park they are opening a "tattoo shop" where you can buy products designed by "top artists," Zulu being one of the 6 they have invited as the opening run

think Miami ink shirts inside the hard rock....

so since I have been their printer for like 2 years now, I get to print the shirts that middle aged led zeppelin fans get to buy in the oasis of mediocrity

so they sent me this design, just a hand drawing



10 color simulated process

10 normal out of the jar colors but laid next to each other to create the illusion of millions of colors...

now mind you I don't have my really nice digital camera with me here in the land of the lost, just my 5 year old shitty scanner, but it's better than the camera phone version...

so here it is



god damn close to perfect...

I'll take better pics when I get home in a month or so...

I have a 2nd one to post up I am just trying to get it to scan

it's only 7 colors but the art is really fucking nice...

thanks for bearing with me I'm cold and tired and miss my wife and kids....


7 color scanned a little better this time

good enough to get an idea I guess

original art



7 spot color print



the inks are a lot closer then they appear here just for whatever reason this scanner is fucking with me tonight...


anyhow maybe they will see a few thousand and I can retire

Sucks about the situation, but the shirt shows why you've got the business you do. Looks great!
