Bassnectar
3-color print with silver metallic.
Designed by Craig Winslow.
Edition of 375.
Printed on 100# Finch Opaque Smooth Cover (Bright White).
15" x 15"

We're really psyched on this low-contrast colorway that Craig came up with. The white ink on white paper really makes this guy pop (no pun intended) in conjunction with the silver metallic and gray shading. Craig rendered a 3D head in Maya, blew the thing apart, then we brought it back into the 2D realm with ink! For fans of "the drop" – let the bass shatter your face!

Mikey Welsh "Flowers"

Monday December 19, 2011

In November, Iskra was asked to create a screen printed reproduction of a painting by the late Mikey Welsh, a longtime collaborator and dear friend of the studio, for a memorial art show at The JDK Gallery / Maglianero in Burlington, VT. We happily obliged, of course. The original "Flowers" is a massive and colorful two-section piece painted on the back of two old wooden doors, with a signature "Mikey" color palette and flowing, dripping lines. Using the original as inspiration, we successfully created our first seven-color print, the most colors we've ever pulled on one print. We hope you enjoy this print as much as we did making it.

Mikey Welsh "Flowers"
7-color print.
Edition of 100.
Printed on 100# Finch Opaque Smooth Cover (Bright White).
11" x 14"

Original press release: "We are proud to present a limited-edition silkscreen reproduction print of Mikey Welsh's "Flowers" painting. Printed by Iskra Print Collective in Burlington, Vermont and first made available for a special memorial gallery show, "Celebrating The Life and Art of Mikey Welsh", featuring a wide variety of Mikey's painting and sculpture work, both old and new. This reproduction is a 7-color screen print, which happens to be the most colors that Iskra has used on a single print in the span of their career. The print measures at 11" x 14" and is printed on high quality 100# Finch Opaque Smooth Cover paper stock in a hand-numbered edition of 100 copies. A beautiful reproduction of one of Mikey's most lively and colorful works, bursting with warm energy and a unique sense of personal vision. Many thanks to Matt Mayer and Leo Listi of Iskra Print Collective for making this such a special piece."

Iskra recently had the pleasure of being featured in Clay Hayes' "Gig Posters Volume 2" book. Volume 1 was fantastic so we were excited to see where Volume 2 would go. Each featured print studio has it's own perforated pull-out poster so you can plaster your walls! Killer concept. TONS of great prints and artists in this book... thanks for including us, Clay!
