New Flavor for the ShutUpsicle: Vintage!

Originally created for The Design Bureau of Amerika’s successful “Superman vs Darth Vader” exhibit, it has remained our most requested print. The original print was printed on the Gocco system and was only a mere 4″x6″. Now it’s been redesigned and hand printed at the glorious size of 12.5″x19″! It features two new custom mixed colors: “Oscar The Slouch” and “Catch of The Day”. This poster will look great in your home, studio or cubicle wall. It’s a signed and numbered (VERY) limited run of 10, so make sure to order yours today!

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.

Hey all,

I usually don’t post work until it’s finished, but some of you have contacted me about what’s coming up from Amerikan Made Prints for The Ink Initiative Project. So I thought I would post some images of the next two prints we will soon be rocking out.

The first poster is a reworking of the “Shutupsicle” print from the now classic “Superman vs Darth Vader” exhibit. The original print was done on the Print Gocco system and was only 4″x6″ in size. It is one of the most requested prints to be reprinted at a larger size. The film positives for this poster were shot last week and should arrive in the next few days. We are hoping to print this over the weekend and have it up on the site by early next week.  I will keep you posted to the progress.

The second print is entitled, “Kenny G. ain’t Jazz”. This was a concept that I have been kicking around for a long time now and I had even designed a variation of it awhile back using a photo collage. I decided to re-work it using all illustrations as a small tribute to one of my favorite illustrators, Burt Goldblatt. I still my tweak some of the illustration a little before I send the artwork out to have the positives made, so this one might be a couple of weeks away. Stay Tuned.
