Pirate posting VI: Parrot's Lament, Revisited

For the sixth and final design of the Pirate themed wooden postcards, I reconceptualized the Parrot's Lament card as a full color/in-scene card. This would be a pain in the ass to pull off w/ letterpress, though to be sure the reprint of the letterpress version will be more complex than its current incarnation. Half of the work on this one is already credited to Tyler- so we'll split the royalties on this one.

Also went ahead and knocked out the back of the cards, which looks like so:

All that's left is to confer w/ Kristin at Spitfire Girl about logistics. More than likely they'll be ready for the Stationery Show in May. I've been working on this project non-stop for about 30 hours and am sick of it. Off to bed!

Pirate posting V: More Butt Pirates

Can you find 3 diferences between this one...


and the one I posted 45 minutes ago?

Here's the source material, which was difficult to work with. On a roll, one more to go.

Pirate posting part IV: Girl Pirate

This particular one was redrawn from the historical painting below.

Pirate posting part III: Ye Original Butt Pirate

Pirate posting part II: Captain Goodbeard

I hate to stomp on my post from 12 hours ago, in which I proclaimed the glory of a new rap album, which I have not stopped listening to, and it is true, I have not slept yet, but will hopefully soon. But I'm thinking if I write about Spitfire Girl once a day, maybe they'll send me some frigging pictures.

Another wood postcard design for SG. Farrell had this idea:

i feel like that should be one of those corporate posters that have an image of something arbitrary with a caption like: "optimism"

We may just do that, but I'm thinking Arrghptimism.

Also from Farrell, another bit of exciting news in new releases:

with a pitchfork url, you almost don't need to read the article.

Hey Spitfire Girl!

When the fuck are you going to send us some pics of that one night in the hotel?

Everyone else:
BBH and Spitfire Girl are double teaming a wood postcard project with a pirate theme. Above is the first design, five more coming, including girl and butt pirates!
