New Business cards are here

Here are my new business cards. They were letterpressed by Dependable Letterpress in San Francisco. I worked with them before and they always do great jobs. The cards were printed on 179lb Cranes cover stock with 3 colors on the front (1 being just a hint) I was debating between a transparent foil stamp or a blind deboss for the background shape, but decided to go with a hint of color because I wasn’t finding the right foil. The edging wasn’t done by them. I actually needed them asap and that would have taken longer because it’d be outsourced so I just did a test for myself with a few of them.

Then I went on a press check and snapped some photos of the behind the scenes of the printing part. It’s always amazing to see that old machine go at it so precise. Hope you enjoy this post.

P.S. I don’t want people calling me so I photoshoped two of the numbers.

The Burl Ives Song Book by Le Goullon

Here’s a song book titled ” The Burl Ives Song Book” Illustrated by R. J. Lee and Lamartine Le Goullon. But I decided to focus only on Le Goullon’s illustrations. I recently came around a few of his pieces and I was very impressed by his style. It’s very detailed and loose at the same time. This book is thick and filled with illustrations. I tried to show the best here. Enjoy!

Here’s a very fun map illustrated by Eric Johnson in 1955 for Sonora Pass Vacationland, Inc. (Tuolumne County, CA). There’s fishing, Hunting, Skiing, Camping, and packing vacations. Love the illustrations and fun type on the cover as well as the map inside. Enjoy!

TWA Nu-Vue Playing Cards

Here’s a set of playing cards made by Brown & Bigelow for Trans World Airlines (TWA). There’s not much known about the designer of cards. I believe they were made around 1964. I’ve seen these set’s graphics used in a piece of fabric that I saw on FFFFound but can’t trace its source and CSA Images has some of these images available. I was very excited to find that this was actually a whole set of cards. It is beautifully illustrated and fun to play with. Enjoy!

If you have any info on the designer of these cards, please let me know!

Hail to the King!

Just an illustration I did about the things that happens around a King’s Kingdom.
There’s good, there’s evil and they all fight for nothing but power using the poor Princess as an excuse becase the queen is too old. Print?
