Recently we had a visitor at Amerikan Made Prints, our good friend and bad ass designer from the Great White North: Jeope.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jeope a few years back at a design convention and we have stayed in touch since then via the interwebs. When I found out that he would be in the States visiting our mutual friend Mel, I extended the invitation to stop by the studio and lay down some ink.  He accepted and we spent an evening catching up, drinking some Strongbow and rocking out a second volume to the Shutupsicle print.

Here are a few shots taking from the evening. The print looks fantastic and it will be available on the Ink Initiative site soon. It was a really limited run so make sure to get your print before they are gone!

This is us trying to decide on the color scheme. I wanted to go back to a color pallet that was closer to the original Gocco print and had the look and feel of a vintage candy package.

Jenn did a great job of mixing up the new colors, Oscar The Slouch(green) and Catch of the Day(orange). We then helped to mix up the right amount needed for the print.

It was a long stormy humid night that caused a few problems during the course of the print but the end results were well worth it.

Thanks to Jeope for his help and input during this run. It was a great time and he is always welcome to come back and rock out some more. Make sure to visit The Ink Initiative and check out all the prints and help support this project.
