We're Going Big

We’re going big.

How could we resist the temptation? If our press can go big than so must we. But big prints mean big equipment. And so, our print studio continues on its course of perpetual motion, attempting to keep up with all of the different scenarios of PP projects and setting up new equipment to print you all some big prints. Paper moves over there to make way for the huge paper dampening tray, and flat files move over there to set up a flattening station . . . If we stack this stuff we can put that over there . . . but then were will we put that? Or that? It’s actually a lot like musical chairs . . . no, no more like Tetris . . . but without things disappearing or gaining points . . . maybe more like musical chairs. Anyway, it’s worth it, because these prints we got coming up are good, real good. Or at least we think so, and we hope you do to.

Stay on your toes . . .

Croaker and Squeaker

We have two new tidbits of printing pleasure buy the inventive Jim Woodring. Just released are “The Pensioner” (first edition to be printed on the new press!) and “Squeaker in the Woods.” They are cool, they are beautiful, and they could be yours. While taking a gander at these new Pressure Printing family members be sure to read the text written by Mr. Woodring himself. Enigmatic and dreamy print goodness awaits you. It’s all at our web site: www.pressureprinting.com.

Squeaker in the Woods: Production Notes

Jim Woodring
Squeaker in the Woods

“Toward the end of a long day spent exploring the dark precincts, a plaintive tootling is heard in the heart of the woods. It says food is plentiful, but remote. It says sleep is inevitable but may be deferred. It says go forward, hungry and tired, and see what has been hidden for you to discover.”

—Jim Woodring

The Pensioner: Production Notes

Jim Woodring
The Pensioner

“There he is, posing with his trophies in the last hours of his tragicomic career as a park frog. He may look like a vain old fool, but don’t you believe it. The Pensioner is one tough croaker, a survivor who knows how to work the system, and he’s connected. You’d better keep your head on straight, mister.”

—Jim Woodring
