Alternative Press Expo Finds

November 17th, 2009 Consume, This Is Awesome

Poor Mojo’s Almanac(k)

I had the plea­sure of going to the Alter­na­tive Press Expo a cou­ple weeks ago, and I came back with a pile of really neat stuff.
Here are a cou­ple gems that I par­tic­u­larly liked:

Poor Mojo's Almanac(k)

These folks were giv­ing out really sweet screen printed & let­ter­press posters & zines FOR FREE.
Some of you may already know that I’m a sucker for let­ter­press, but to those that don’t-you now know the inky way to my heart.

They also were hand stamp­ing cus­tom cards for peo­ple at their booth, also for free.
Lastly, on their web­site, they do a weekly col­umn where you can ask for advice from a squid!
How totally rad is that?

Check it out at poormojo.org.

White Trash, Black Magic- Icecreamlandia

This book caught my eye all the way across the con­ven­tion floor.
First, it’s huge & beau­ti­fully hand screened.
Sec­ond, the cover is pur­ple, hot pink & gold.
Third, it had a huge sign under­neath it that said WHITE TRASH, BLACK MAGIC.

Okay one of you sweet darlin’s grab a card.
If I guess wrong, I got some Bar­tles & James pome­gran­ate rasp­berry bev­er­ages in that cooler over there– go and drink your­selves stupid.

Ice­cream­lan­dia is Eve Engle­zos and Joshua Moutray, and their work is full of sweet illus­tra­tions and dark humor.
So far, I kind of love every­thing I’ve seen them do.

Also, how hilar­i­ous is this bio?

“Eve and Josh do not use pho­to­shop fil­ters for their work. in the inter­est of full dis­clo­sure, they have used them iron­i­cally while in art school, and occa­sion­ally eve has liq­uidized pho­tos to make her­self appear thinner.“

I got a sweet stuffed ten­ta­cle from this rad lady!
