LWYL 6th Edition

Posted on by Hijiri

Last Friday, I printed Live What You Love 6th edition.

Always starts with the light color and go darker and darker for easy press cleaning – it’s time consuming thing to change the color on the press, but if you go light to dark, you don’t have to clean as much.

so I started with the yellow:

Mixing a new color…

For Brown! It goes well with your brown frame for sure.

and… I thought I hadn’t printed in blue for a while and I wanted to do a lighter blue this time…

I actually really like this blue! So pretty and fresh looking – what do you guys think?! :)

6th edition is not yet done, I am printing more! You *might* see more new colors soon…

LWYL Poster!

Posted on by Hijiri

I was in the studio yesterday printing…. Live What You Love posters! A few people have requested a larger size of the print and I have been planning to do so for such a long time and finally, I accomplished the plan. Oh, my god, it was harder than I thought it would be! So I could only print 10 posters in yellow… I’m going to print more colors as requested from now on, I think, because it just takes time… now I appreciate even more of those hand-printed large posters!

Cutting papers – these tools are my friends for a long time.

Type setting my new 4 inch tall wood types! They are really beautiful.

Putting ink on the roller – it needs to be right amount of ink.

After printing one proof, adjusting takes long time… and the end result is here!
