Resource: New Papers and Printing Techniques

Spectrum Lithograph Printing

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

As technologies change, so do the materials and techniques involved with printing. Spectrum Lithograph offers a Lithofoil printing, where foils are printed with the 4-color process, adding depth to most artworks.

For durable products, Polyart papers are the practical choice. A unique clay coating keeps the paper from tearing, yet is smooth enough for writing.

New Leaf Paper has nice recycled paper stocks that any environmentally-conscious designer can appreciate. They seem to be the leaders for recycled stocks since they don’t bleach their materials and have experimented with non-wood papers.

Artwork: Gothic Beauty

Gothic Beauty

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

Gothic Beauty is a classic portrait inspired by Roman busts and vampire movies. The medium is mixed–graphite on paper and digital coloring. A tribal dragon is tattooed onto the shoulder. The teardrops represent a perpetual sadness and loneliness from a life as an undead. (This concept stems from a Zulu story of how a cheetah got her tears).
