“Flatstock 38” by Anonymous Ink & Idea

Direct from Anonymous Ink & Idea:

I recently teamed up with Mama’s Sauce (a boutique letterpress/screenprint shop in Orlando, Fl) to create some letterpress business cards. In true Anonymous form, the card has no name or phone number on it, but it does feature a beautiful blind deboss on one side, and a silver metallic ink on the other. To achieve the desired look, we duplexed black cardstock directly to white cardstock and then trimmed it down to 2 x 2″ square. (photo attached)

I was so pleased with the results, I thought it would be interesting to execute a similar printing process for Anonymous’s Flatstock poster this year. So I reached out to Mama’s Sauce again and we conspired to created a 10×10″ square, double-sided poster. Using a screen-printing method (instead of letterpress) the front of the poster features two ink colors on white cardstock, and the reverse side features a single color on black. Again, we duplexed both sheets together and trimmed down to the final 10 x 10″ size.

The end result feels more like a vinyl record sleeve than a poster, but looks great and consistent with what I initially envisioned. I’ll be selling these little guys at Flatstock and will put whatever copies I have left on my site next week.
