Lux Center Gala Print

Here is a print I have been working on the last couple days. This piece was commissioned by the Lux Center for the Arts in Lincoln, NE.

The mission of Lux Center for the Arts is to enhance the lives of a diverse public through the visual arts by providing exceptional learning opportunities in contemporary art, craft, and design. These opportunities, honoring the legacy of arts educator Gladys M. Lux, include art classes, residence programs, gallery exhibitions, and community outreach.

Coming up this September they are having "A deLUX Art Gala" benefit dinner and art auction. Every person who attends this event will receive one of this prints! I printed these on handmade paper (variety of colors - light blue, cream, sparkle, white!) by my favorite paper place, Porridge Papers.

The Lux Center has supported many artists as well as the community. Please come and support the Lux by participating "A deLUX Art Gala"! Event is September 19, 4:30 pm at the Grand Manse in Lincoln.

Paper!

I made a stop to Porridge papers the other day and stocked up on paper for my upcoming letterpress projects. Their handmade paper come in beautiful colors and I'm especially fond of the blue and orange papers.

Upcoming letterpress projects (so far):

Christmas Cards
Art Prints

Etsy Business Cards

2011 Calendar

I have a couple ideas in mind for the Christmas cards to sell this holiday season, but I'm also wondering if anyone has any requests or suggestion on designs. Rabbits? Trees? Terrariums? A little typography? Let me know your thoughts!

Porridge Papers!

Yesterday Porridge Papers in Lincoln, NE celebrated their Sweet 16! Porridge papers specializes in handmade paper and letterpress (invites, prints, and more!). They asked local designers to make designs to be printed on their paper and given away in a Schwag Bag at the party! Above is my printed design that I came up with.

Check out their store in Lincoln, and see more at their blog.
Congrats Porridge! I can't wait to celebrate more birthday's to come.
