Arcade Fire and writer/director Chris Milk teamed up with a huge collection of 2-D/3-D artists, filmmakers and coders to create The Wilderness Downtown. All coded in HTML5, this site is an incredibly rich and beautiful experience.
It’s recommended that, for the best experience, you use Chrome, but seeing as though Google was involved in the project, I can see why. However, I found that Firefox handled the experience a tad better.
Also, watch out Flash, this is proof that you’ve got some real competition.
Phew! After a week of a few odd scheduling issues (and one instance of beer winning the battle over printing!) I’ve finally finished up the first round of color.
Next up… I got the blue blue blues!
As always, Pre-orders are available through Supermarket.
You can look at a screen all you want but, honestly, the best way to tell if a screen is exposed well is to use the thing, so I pulled some test prints earlier… looking good.
If you’re wondering, I used black because the red recipe that I whip up is a bit on the expensive side and given the heavy ink coverage for these guys, I’ll need every squeegee pull I can get.
Speaking of inks, we’re are all mixed and prepped, so glad I wrote down the recipes to these colors, it made life so much easier.
Next up… not much left to do but to lay down some color!
Pre-orders are available through Supermarket.
Spent some time this afternoon over the lightbox to touch up these screens. All-in-all things weren’t too bad… The “You” screen had some pinhole issues, but that’s nothing a little emulsion can’t fix. Looks like the guy has serious case of chicken pox though!
The “Me” screen only had a few pinholes to deal with but, unfortunately, on closer inspection, my third color artwork looked horrible so I had to fill it up and will have to get that redone later this week or next.
Next up… Test prints!
Phew! The second screen turned out ok this time around. Next step… Touching up the screens and then it will be almost time for 
+P! Stay tuned.
So yesterday I mentioned how the awesome folks at French Paper are, in deed, awesome. Well they are quickly reaching epic status now, as they have overnighted my replacement paper on their dime and on top of that they packed it extra nice. A perfect stack of paper from my favorite paper source! I think it’s gonna be good day.
In addition to the paper, I also got new fresh new screens made today! Unfortunately only one of the two screens made the cut, the other one (the one that will be the first color pass) wasn’t done very well and had to be re-redone… hopefully tomorrow.
