To achieve this look, we used letterpress and offset printing. The main card, matching envelope, "bee" escort card and favor tags were letterpressed onto Mohawk's Genesis Husk paper. The tri-fold wrap around the main 5x7 card was printed on a similar color stock paper, but it had a woven texture to it – French Paper Company's Speckletone Cream Cordtone. The surface contrast between the smooth and patchwork pattern is just lovely. I am not sure if the photos do it justice, but there is so much subtle detail to the overall invite from the printing to the specialty paper.

The final invested time came to around 1000 hours. The piece weighs over 100 lbs, and put quite a dent in my bank account. Sometimes it was tough to keep going on this one. When you're all by yourself, working really hard on something in an almost obsessive way, you can start to doubt your sanity. Now that It's done my sanity, the expense, the acceptance of the design or the sellability of the piece are irrelevant. It's a huge personal success for me to see a project like this to the end, and I'm happy to have it in my house.
Trust me when I say that there isn't a photo possible that can replace the experience of visually exploring this one. I've taken a handful of shots, but there's details, inside and out, that some people may never notice. The element of this clock that really made my arm work, and really stole the hours away, was the plates. I've never (and may never again) carved up metal that thick before, and I've never poured that much contouring per-square-inch into a surface before. It was a lot of grinding, but the result is a frame that has the accuracy of machining, with the free formed contouring of a casting. On top of that, I discovered a new element during the creation process that I really like, and will use again in future pieces. It's the clusters of screws, accumulating in almost barnacle-like fashion throughout the frame. It really adds detail, and texture to the surface; and it contributes to blurring the line between organic repetition and mechanical repetition. What I've definitely found up to this point is that the two fit very nicely together; better than expected I think. While I may make things that are more clear in form or narrative in the future, I like that the look of this one is a little more cryptic. You can't perfectly piece together a clock that once was, and it's not very logical why a given area is growing or decaying; it all just sort of happens in this strange flow of implied change.
I took the time to get a really good straight on shot of this clock so that an 18 x 24 poster could be made. I didn't want to have to enlarge the image in photoshop, because you end up with a soft image, and I wanted all of the detail in the gears to show up nice and crisp. To get the proper resolution for offset printing that size the file needs to be over 7000 pixels wide. If you own a digital camera you're most likely aware of how huge that is. I had to rent some professional equipment to pull it off, but it came out great!
A print of a full image of the clock is available in the shop on my site.

When the rubber traction device didn't work, i thought i might be able to add teeth by using a small section of micro-perf rule, a flexible material that is adhered to the blanket in offset printing for making perforations. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I managed to break one of the splined pins that holds the original parts together. What a perfect opportunity!
I collected a few sizes of brass rod and tubing (K&S Engineering). The .081" rod was an excellent match to the original small end of the shaft, which fits into a pivot point at the bottom. Sections of 2mm tube with a wall thickness of .45mm were cut to length and soldered onto the rod. The original traction device is 2 sets of tiny toothed wheels between 2 small washers. I placed them on my 2mm rod, spaced by the 2mm tube, and held in place by two more stub sections of tube.. Before I did the final soldering, I added a section of 3mm tube over the 2mm center section, to help stiffen the shaft, and to give a better leveling surface to keep the traction wheel sets straight. The rod was left long until all soldering was completed, giving me something to clamp in a vice to steady the work.

We teamed up with Bryony and Armin from Under Consideration to produce custom Scout Books for their Brand New Conference taking place today in New York.
These Scout Books are a terrific example of the power of overprinting. Two colors of ink combine to create a variety of tones, making for an fun and useful conference giveaway.

ENGLISH
Czech Cubism was born around 1910 in Prague when a group of young avant-garde designers transferred the Cubist principles of the paintings of Braque and Picasso to architecture, furniture and decorative objects. The Czech Cubist movement is seen as one of the main influences on the modernist style that emerged in the 1920s.

Ball graining lithography machine - Print shop (India)
The machine gives a surface grain to the offset printing plates by the impact of small steel balls or pebbles driving an abrasive against the plates.
When I took the photo I was not sure exactly what this machine was, but it was moving making a lot of noise, and the metal balls that you see are moving over some printing plates. See a video of a similar machine in action.
I took this and those other photos in a small Print Shop / Book Editor in Delhi, called Jayyed Press.

Packaged together with pencils and a note, Astro Studios supplied a “stylish place to sketch [ideas]… and start feeling better about the more prolific you.”
The French post has a very good reputation for art issues since 60s. Personally I prefer French early issued art stamps. At that time the level of design and the printing technique are quite excellent. I should agree that with the growth of different entertainment ways, the philately has lost many clients. That means potentially the post has lost incomes from postage. One way is considered because of development of computer network like Internet and email applications. And the same time the grave print costs more expensive and more time while offset printing is cheaper and widely used in stamps production. And Photoshop is widely used in stamps design. Considering these reasons, I think the French art stamps keep less quality than Czech and Slovakia today. These two countries have still very high quality for their grave art stamps.

Jean-Jacques Henner Self Portrait
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Henner
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Document Philatélique de La Poste]
Jean-Jacques Henner (1829-1905)
Jean-Jacques Henner est né à Bernwiller, dans le Haut-Rhin en 1829, dans une famille de modestes cultivateurs. Malgré cela, son père encourage très vite la vocation précoce de son fils, et il reçoit une solide formation classique à Strasbourg, puis à Paris où il est tour à tour l’élève de Michel-Martin Drolling et d’Edouard Picot, à l’école de beaux-arts.À 27 ans, le peintre concourt pour le prix de Rome, qu’il obtient avec une œuvre intitulée Adam et Eve retrouvant le corps d’Abel. Durant les cinq années qu’il passe ensuite en Italie, Jean-Jacques Henner étudie avec passion les grands maitres de la Reconnaissance, avec une prédilection pour les vénitiens. Il est rentré à Paris en 1865, et s’installe à Pigalle dans un atelier qu’il occupera sa vie durant.
Quelque peu oublié de nous jours, Henner, surnommé « le Corrège français », fut en son temps un peintre comblé d’honneurs. Inclassable, il échappe à l’académisme, par sa soumission la réalité. Ainsi, lorsqu’il prend comme modèle sa sœur, dans Jeune Fille se chauffant les mains à un grand poêle (1855, musée Sundgauvien d’Altkirch), la présence du chat et du poêle, qui fait référence à l’Alsace natale de l’artiste, son sens de la lumière et des ombres, en font une scène charmante pleine de simplicité. Portraitiste de talent, il reçut un nombre considérable de commandes et toute la grande bourgeoisie de l’époque semble avoir défilé dans son atelier. En 1871, Henner réalise à la demande de Gambetta, l’Alsace, elle attend

(musée Henner, Paris) dont le visage, qui porte la trace des douleurs subies, atteint à une véritable puissance expressive. S’essayant à tous les genres, Henner fut aussi un peintre de paysages et de scènes religieuses. Cependant, si on était tenté de l’approcher aujourd’hui, ce serait pour sa vision de la beauté féminine, teintée de romantisme, telle qu’elle apparaît dans sa Naïade

En 1923, la nièce de l’artiste, Madame veuve Jules Henner, fait don à l’Etat d’un musée qui porte le nom du peintre, dans lequel est rassemblé, entre autres, l’ensemble des œuvres qui se trouvaient dans son atelier au moment de sa mort.
