This poster was born out of a legitimate need. One of our friends isn't feeling well and has some sort of chronic ailment which makes her feel fatigued, light-headed with some vertigo mixed in -- making it really difficult to get along with life. It's a lot like Lyme Disease with all the symptoms present but tests negative in the labs. She had some marijuana but wasn't sure...how to...use it. Therefore this poster is a piece of design with the purpose of teaching just that, and providing some happy vibes in the home.
The poster took about two weeks of full-time sketching, designing and drawing to get it to a good point while we were transitioning from East Coast to West. It will be silk screen printed and offered in the Kickstarter and in the store.
Of course since I'm perpetually hungry, I love to bite off more than I can chew. This poster is no exception. It's going to be:
- on some really nice Italian cold pressed Fabriano paper
- a non-standard 9" x 18" double square proportion
- 4 colors, both sides (8 passes/sheet)
- ready to hang with wooden slats at the top and bottom with a red string
I've already built some obnoxiously large silk screens to gang up the designs, but my last attempt to expose them had me running around the roof with a bad case of tourettes chasing the wind-blown negatives. Not fun -- wasted $20 worth of diazo emulsion but lets not get into detail about my hardships. I'm gonna make it look easy when it's time to get down.
If you like the poster or have a friend or relative new to the art of rolling a joint who could use a few pointers, get in touch and I'll let you know when its ready to purchase or back on Kickstarter.
