March 2008


First, We would like to thank James Murphy at Live Nation for setting us up with all these great poster opportunities.  We love doing the work and James is always stoked on the projects we work on together.  For this installment, we have the Dream Theater (Progressive Nation Tour 2008) Poster with Opeth, Between the buried and Me, and Three.  This poster is special because it is our first photo-to-screenprint-to-flatstock project.  Ian took the photograph of the girl in the dress with the armadillo and human skull and Chuck separated it down into 6 index colors and laid the text out.  Basilio took the screen to press and put it all down super tight to create this really unique product.  It is nice when everyone at the shop gets a hand in the same project.  Expect to see more of these types of projects in the future.  The poster is on a 19.5 x 25 inch black heavy stock.  Image print size is 16×20 inches and is 6 colors.  We have a limited number available here at ironforge and you can email us at info@ironforgepress.com to inquire about quantity and pricing info.  Thanks!

One of the most enjoyable aspects of working as a printer is the opportunity to meet artists and clients we respect and admire.  And fortunately we have had the pleasure of working with the excellent illustrator and designer Hydro 74 on a few occasions.  Pictured below are two posters in silver ink and a shirt in gray water based.  We did two of the poster prints on plexiglass as well that looked sweet.
