Flat file spring cleaning give away 2014

Last item on my list of spring cleaning is sorting through my flat file. In the process I found some gems to give away on the Antiquated Press Facebook page. like comment or whatever to be entered. I will be drawing winners next week or so.

my use of cooper black proves this is awesome

image

here is a test print from 08 for “harder they fall” from full metal tee. it is signed and a pretty swell print. 

image

here is one of AP’s first prints, “Migrating Bureaus” from 2009. A screenprint and one of very few out there. 

image

“workshop” another screenprint from ‘09 

image

made for the ap homepage. only a few of these made for complete clockworks edition sets. yeah, the website started in copper.

image

this is a test print from society 6 - 2010 i think. Ordered several of these to see the quality. “Icarus” i went ahead and signed it as well. 

image

It is so rare that I give away (never sell) original ink work. This is an original pencil and ink drawing of thor i did for a potential licensed by marvel tshirt which never came to be. 

image

this is one of only a couple proofs of the one lost plate in the clockworks series. it is a sad story. 

image

the wolf II edition is not just plain “wolf” because of this print. it did not make the cut into CW 13 and only a few were sent out to pals. 

image

the original concept sketch for “woods” edition in CW 13 

image

original concept sketch for “balloon” edition in CW 13. 

image

so yeah, you can comment here - or swing by the facebook page and shout out which one you’d like. i might be pulling some other sketches and stuff. thanks for supporting antiquated press

This is a process film for the edition Stars, part of the Clockworks 13 series of etchings released by Antiquated Press. The video was shot over the course of August, Sept and October 2013.
The audio track on the video is “Sea of Air” by Portugal the Man from their album Evil Friends - used with permission.

The final release of Clockworks 13 is posted. Which means that the whole of the series is now available. Thirteen editioned etchings. It was a pretty incredibly journey and although I am a bit sad to see it finish, I am very excited about what is coming now that Clockworks is over.

Well over is not quite right, there are a bunch of things that will be showing up on the site over the next week or so. For example the process film for the Stars plate, which I was lucky enough to score the skills of my incredibly talented son to direct the project. I will also be posting a ton of photos, behind the scenes action capturing the intense excitement that is intaglio print making. (I am not sure if “intense” is the right word.. but you get the idea)

Additionally we have some pretty crazy swag relating to Clockworks 13: Buttons (actually just calling them buttons is an understatement.. more like little pinback robot parties), Shirts (yes the shirts are coming back), Totes, Pillows, Stickers, Cards… and action figures (no not really action figures, but that would be really cool)

Also on our facebook page I will be giving away a bunch of prints over the next couple weeks - so if you would like an original etching, but cannot afford it… keep an eye on our FB.

Finally, everyone who has supported and encouraged this endeavor has my eternal gratitude. I thank you all, working on this project is just the start - Clockworks 13 is a complete series.. but it is also just the first chapter in the Antiquated Press story.
