Llamapalooza 2011 Poster

 

Final Print on bulletin board. 12"x18" on brown chipboard. Three color print made on a Vandercook 219 AB press for Colorado College's Llamapalooza festival. Edition of 200.

Left: The design concept is born with pencil and paper, later transferred to rubylith cuts and made into multiple polymer plates for color separations. InDesign was used for type formatting and a polymer plate was made for type on the bottom half. LlamaPalooza, date, and time are self-designed fonts. Right: One of the first proofs on my second to last run: silver! Note: final edition does not include year and date in silver, this was a test run.

 Printing the first run of orange.

Happiness! The almost-final product before one more trim on the guillotine.

Stacking: gotta keep things tidy so I don't loose count of my proof to edition ratio. Twenty five in each stack.

 Ready to be printed: type for colophon (on back of poster). Printed in silver. 

 The poster hung in the Worner Student Center at CC on a community bulletin board amongst others.

Vernacular Architecture: The Yurt

 

Ash dowels hand carved with a draw knife and stitched with elastic cord for door seam closure and other attachment points on the yurt. Ea. about 2" long, made by myself and a student in the class.

 The finished space! Playing around with the idea of rafters out front, and different ways of closing the door.

 The 18' diameter yurt being used for one of the first times--we felt immediately more relaxed just sitting inside. Canvas was used for the roofing and walls, local douglas fir and ash for the rafters and lattice walls.

View of the yurt at night on the Colorado College campus--Slocum Quad. This project was the collaborative result of a first-time Block B summer class offered at CC by professor Scott Johnson. Myself and Maxime Robillard were "paraprofs" (or TA's) for the 3 1/2 week long course. Thank you to all of the amazing students who made this happen, and I was honored to help with the design and facilitate the course. We hope that this yurt will be a part of the CC community for years to come.
