Mr. Tartufi goes to London.

Tartufi, who we love to death, signed to Southern Records not too long ago, recently released the fantastic "Nests of Wave and Wire," and are soon to be on their way to the UK for a string of dates with Marnie Stern, culminating in an appearance at the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham. To celebrate this awesome string of events, I printed just shy of 30 of these posters, and gave 20 to the band. Three colors of increasing smaller and more "busy" leaf and tree images are layered under the tour information. I tried a few with a final green layer, but the ink was too runny and it smeared on a couple of posters (plus it was a bit too dark against the text), so the bulk of the posters were printed white, silver, gold, and black on buttercup yellow. They measure 10 1/4" wide by 20 1/2" tall. The gold and silver inks are irridescent. The photos leave a bit to be desired, but I think you get the idea. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. Get in touch with the band if you want a poster.

4th of July.

For the last 4 years, we've been throwing shows at El Rio, and they've been getting bigger and bigger. This year, the show featured Birdmonster, Two Sheds, Low Red Land, Finn Riggins (ID), Birds & Batteries, D Numbers (NM), Writer, and Murray the Thief, and sister venture Sneaky's BBQ handled the food. To commemorate the show, I made two posters using the same image. Pictured is the red/white/black version of the poster, on gunmetal gray stock. Just as before, there is a photo of the poster and one of the posters in production. Soon, I'll post the images of the gold/silver/white version of the poster, printed on a charcoal gray stock. I printed 30 of each, and due to some poor merchandise placement, most are still available. The posters measure 10 1/4" wide by 20 1/2" tall, and are full-bleed prints. There were a few registration issues, which is endlessly frustrating, but I think I'm getting closer to a good method. If anyone's interested in obtaining one, please email redandblackink@gmail.com.

Low Red Land/Fake Problems/William Elliott Whitmore show poster.

Welcome to the Ghost Mansion Press blog. It's my hope that this site will come to feature a number of cool, limited, hand-screened prints and other pieces made here at the Mansion. The first entry is the poster I designed and screened for the Low Red Land show at Bottom of the Hill with Fake Problems and William Elliott Whitmore. There's a shot of the poster itself, and a shot of the prints during production. The print features a drawing of a canine flea, printed in black on oversized, white backing, with gold lettering, all on gunmetal gray stock. The posters measure 10 1/4" wide by 20 1/2" tall. 50 were printed, with most sold at the show and given to friends. There are a few left, so contact me if you're interested.
