Joe Magee Screen print edition for Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh.

We've been incredibly busy for the last three months with various projects and degree show work so have not had time to blog anything. This week I'm going to try and rattle through some of the work that has left helloblue in that time.  Enjoy.

First up was this 112cm x 76 cm two colour screen print edition of 25. The work was commissioned onto a 310gsm somerset paper and disappeared up to Edinburgh for the gallery opening. We also produced a series of Giclee prints for the show but such was the time pressure on the job that they were off out of the door before the ink had barely dried and we didn't get to photograph them.

Guilty Gear limited edition...

To be issued in only 200 special editions of the renowned fighting game this print features one of the original drawings from the story boards and has been printed by us onto Hahnemuhle German Etching 310gsm. 
The prints were then numbered, wrapped and backed in house using archival quality mount board and archival quality celophane pockets. 

If you want to get your hands on one however i'm afraid you'll have to track down one of the limited edition copies of the game!!

Helena Karley update..

In November we produced a series of A1's onto newsprint for third year U.W.E student Helena Karley, they were to be worked onto as part of an on going project. She popped in last week to get some other work printed and happened to have the finished pieces with her. 

The have been screen printed lightly with metallic gold ink and embossed... They looked amazing.. Helena had done a brilliant job of embossing and printing onto such a light a delicate stock.

Lionel Freidman Screen Print Edition

Phils been kept busy this week producing this screen print edition. It consisted of 20 prints of three images. For this edition Somerset text laid 300gsm was chosen. It wasn't the easiest screen print in the world to produce as creating a solid colour on a textured paper can cause problems but in the end they all looked beautiful.

The signed and numbered edition is off to London but if anyone is interested in a print let us know and we can forward your details to the artist.
