Beautiful Plastic
So the record arrived in time and sounding like ten shades of beautiful on vinyl.
Official to arrive v.soon but heres a little journal of how the past few days have been:
- First stop was Glasgow School of Art. Direct admittance to the screenprinting room.
BOOM!
The original idea was to screenprint the full colour artwork Tom had in mind for a while. However, after the first two colours went down, the prints resembled a nuclear haze.
We stuck with it, rather than add any more colour.
Simplicity wins again.
Once all 300 prints were dry, we headed over to Dam Mantle HQ where Tom began numbering each screenprint. Normal process for general screenprints.
Arguably something rarely seen on a vinyl record.
It never occurred to us about the beautiful symmetry of these when placed together.
Good idea for a DM poster design.
Tom’s screenprinting marathon ended in the final hours, just in time to be packed and shipped off to records stores right across the UK and beyond.
A damn fine last few days was had and reminded us exactly why were doing this.
Time to celebrate
Halleluwah!
