Our Printing Workshop @ the Vera Project: After we gave our 45-minute talk about Vera Groningen and our design philosophies in the Vera Project, we gave a printing instruction/workshop in their beautiful printshop. This is where Kunny and Mirjam printed some limited artprints. Thanks to all the people from the Vera Project for your attendance.

Andy MacDougall (Squeegeeville) and his assistants Printing our Art prints @ Flatstock 31. We learned a lot of technical screen print tricks from Andy and he showed us how to make a low budget printing table (for about $50!) with bottles of beer as a counter balance. Thank you for all your wisdom, Andy.
Overview of Flatstock 31: here you can see how many artists are participating, and this picture doesn't even capture all the booths! There are about 3-4 artists per wall; that makes many posters! What a competition. One thing we found out is that our European art really stood out amongst the American ones. It looked more free, and based on fine art where the American posters are more based on existing poster art.
Flatstock details: what is flatstock? The FLATSTOCK poster show series is presented by the American Poster Institute(API). It is an ongoing series of exhibitions featuring the work of many of the most popular concert poster artists working today. The API is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to serving poster artists and promoting the art form. Both the API and its FLATSTOCK series were organized in 2002 as a result of conversations between interested artists and supporters frequenting the popular web site gigposters.com. The best concert posters have always captured both the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the time in which they were produced. This is as true today as it was in San Francisco during the Sixties. The FLATSTOCK shows provide the general public with an ongoing series of opportunities to see fine poster art in person and to meet the artists who've created it -- they provide the API with a way to present the poster artists collectively while showcasing the breadth of individual styles they represent.
