Zomic 'Cage' Poster

Our most recent poster adventure was an interesting one. ZOMIC.org's Sir Charles Moran connected up with ABNRML for a new CAGE print he was sketching out. After working with Chuck on a few prints (King Khan, Fugi Rock Fest), we decided we would experiment a bit. Chuck, like a lot of artists, hand draws a lot of his designs. Most of the time, those hand drawings get turned into digital files on a computer that are more easily manipulated and able to get print ready (this is not a bad thing!). With this specific print, we experimented by giving Chuck a few pages of high quality vellum (think tracing paper) to ink out each seperated color. This required Chuck to work pretty hard and we are very impressed with the results. We took his hand drawn vellums, burned them directly to screens and printed; circumventing digital goodness and computers all together. Like the old days of screening. It worked out great.

This 4-color print for rapper CAGE was screened on bright white Canson Bristol 96lb. paper and was a very limited run of 25 prints for Cage's show at the First Unitarian Church on July 30th, 2009 in Phildelphia, PA.
