I worked with the fine folks at Crayton-Heritage Letterpress to produce this 16x20 poster on 100% Cotton Crate Lettra, and am beyond happy with the printing.  The posters will be sold at our Friday, Feb 24, 2012 fundraising event for The Educational Center, as well as at the public exhibition on Saturday, Feb 25, 10-4.

It was quite a treat to visit last week for a press check with the lovely, detail-oriented Jillian Long -- so cool to see the press in action.

On Feb 24, 2012, Scott will speak about his art and spirituality at a private fundraising event for Educational Center and on Saturday, February 25 his work will be exhibited to the public.

Working on a limited edition commemorative poster featuring one of Scott's linocut self-portraits -- more on that soon!

They serve only local NC brews!)

I am proud to be part of their launch with the design of their website and some email promotions of their opening.  The fantastic photography was supplied by the very talented and resposive Tonya Russ Price of Poprock Photography.

Best of luck to owner Joe DiLeo and his staff!

She will share samples of her future work and will soon be blogging here. Using the flexible Squarespace platform, I was able to quickly design a site for her that she will be able to update on her own.
