Insect Interest

Designer Julian Montague executed the pieces you see here. My favorite part of his process is that after the specimen is collected, studied, and drawn, the final art piece is displayed in the original location that the subject of inspiration was found.

Leveraging bar??

I am incredibly curious about the contraption this printer is using. It seems to be a sort of leveraging bar for the squeegee pressure? I have been around a number of graphic presses both automatic and manual, but I’ve never witnessed anything like this. I imagine it to be a great hybrid that eases the labor load for the printer without loosing the hands on control. Anyone care to enlighten me? This is a shot of the inner workings of the Stolen Space print shop in London. They are printing Jeff Soto’s prints for his ‘Inland Emire’ show which runs from 14.05.09 - 07.06.09. -
Scimitar Cooperative
Anyone who A: has spent much time in the Santa Barbara area and B: fosters a healthy creative appetite, has undoubtedly noticed lack of anything resembling an authentic music or visual arts scene in the vicinity. Those with there heads above (or below) the crowd have been required to travel a few hours to the south or many hours to the north to get their dose of current happenings.
Lately however, there have been few artist collectives and sole movers and shakers who have been working hard to jolt some life and organization into the area. Among these are The Scimitar Cooperative and sbdiy. Anyone in the Santa Barbara, Goleta, Isla Vista, or surrounding areas looking for some original thoughts will have better luck at events connected to these groups rather than those posted by the boorish Santa Barbara Independent.
