Eric puttin' on the chops of freshly mailed and signed prints.

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's been a while but with our recent non-stop printing schedule I think its time to take a short rest and get you caught up on the action.

Returning to the studio revitalized after the Open Press show, we continue to contrive, formulate, devise and construct the Santa Monica show at Copro Nason Gallery. One of the highlights of the show being the ten print show portfolio; hence our day and night schedule on the presses. We had both the Albion and our little Charles Brand simultaneously printing at full speed (for only the second time in history folks!). The prints are an eclectic and stunningly complementary family of images. Some participating artist are newbies to a Pressure Printing project while others are usual suspects. The artists are Alex Gross, Glenn Barr, KRK Ryden, Scott Musgrove, Tim Biskup, Mark Mothersbaugh, Jim Woodring, Coop, Dave Cooper and Attaboy. We are bubbly with excitement. The unveiling of this never before seen portfolio will only be at the Copro Nason show, so come and take a peek.

Open Press Opening

Running solely on adrenaline (a mix of very little sleep and coffee [tea for Brad and Eric]), we printed the artist's names on the wall, we put up the Curious Show sign, we attached the title cards, printed out the price list and turned on the lights in the cabinet. Viola. A CURIOUS SHOW 2006 is officially official!

Strike up the band.

As for the night's events:

Denverites flocked to the show and found it quite curious. People hovered about the display cabinet, tried on the 3-D glasses for KRK Ryden's pieces, drank, ate, and were merry. Some wandered in from the street like moths to a flame having never heard of the wild works of Pressure Printing and throughly enjoyed the sights. Others knew of the artists and Pressure Printing and jumped for joy at the surprises and in-person interaction with the prints. Pictures!

Preparations...





PP employees take a collective nap.



The cabinent looked smashing. We need better pictures of it so that it dosen't look like a UFO.



A panorama of the gallery.



Then the people showed up!







Brad's family was all there and were all in conversational poses.



Gretchen was pretty happy about the whole thing.



Everybody loved the KRK glasses.





Brad, Gretchen, Eric.



All in all, a pretty great night.
