ASSS and Chrome Wings

I never posted this poster in full form, so enjoy this summer tour poster for the remainder of the holiday.

Triangles

I've been working on some new small triangles for a small installation, kinda. Here's a couple examples.

Winter Solstice

Art by Caitlin

Layout by Jordan

Beach House

I don't think I ever posted this one, but in case you wanted to know, I made a Beach House tour poster this past summer. The prints are all gone at this point, but I just thought you'd like to see this two color silkscreen on gold paper. Beach House has a new album coming out in a couple months entitles "Teen Dream." Catch it because I'm sure it will be awesome.

A New Video

Jake Sam Jordan Steve Skate from Jordan Bernier on Vimeo.

I completed this video about a week ago using some leftover footage from my final days in Portland as well as a couple clips from my first week in Bmore. I know that this is a skate video and it's probably more suitable for blogs like this one, but there might be someone out there that reads this blog and watches this video. Music by Dustin Wong.

Heady Mugs

Heady Mugs at Nudashank opens this Friday, December 11th from 7-10. Here are a few small drawings I made for a zine that I hope to complete for the opening. For more information on artists and location and other stuff, click here.

Infant Tree Gallery

Caitlin and I just sent out some drawings to Infant Tree in Lancaster, PA. All the pieces in the show are 6" x 6" and mounted on masonite. The show should be rad and the opening in Friday, December 4th. Above are the three drawings I did for the show. I couldn't find the blog for the show, but if I do I'll let you know.

The Raincoats

I made this poster before we left Portland though I don't think I ever posted it here. Two color print on gold paper, I like this poster a bunch.

SUNDOGPEACEHOUSE

Yeah, I know it's been like a month since the last update, but I've been doing stuff, I swear. This is a new tee-shirt design for Pittsburgh's SUNDOGPEACEHOUSE.

Send me an email at kiitycatpress@gmail.com if you would like any of the new books due out in the next few weeks:

Friends Volume One and Two
For Nanook by Chris Mucci
Faces by Jordan Bernier

I'll have cover art posted as soon as they are printed.

Also Coming Soon

Also set for release late this fall/early this winter is our Friends of Kitty Cat Press two volume set. Artists include Caitlin Cunningham, Gary Kachadourian (featured above), Tyler Matta, John Morris, Dina No, Allen Quigley, and many many more. Too many to count, actually.

I just need to fix my stupid printer. Stay tuned for more information.

Coming Soon

Chris Mucci recently sent us his newest portfolio of drawings to be printed in book form. The book will contain about 15 images all made by Mr. Mucci over this past summer. We look forward to the release of his new book this Thanksgiving. Let me know if you would like one!

Nanook

A good friend passed away not too long ago and I wanted to let everyone see this image of him because you're gonna see it in your dreams from now until forever. Nanook!

Gaarden Records Peeling

Caitlin designed and Jordan screened the four color covers for the new Gaarden Records compilation "Peeling."

Here I am registering the final color.

I'm printing again in the kitchen while trying to not make a mess because we're moving out soon.

And the final step of trimming all the covers. "Peeling" was printing in a limited hand-numbered edition of 100. You can acquire some more information here or here. This compilation is Dustin Wong approved!

John and Jordan Photo Book

Here I am printing up a bunch of cover for the John and Jordan Photo Book back in February. There are only a couple copies of this book around, but I have a bunch of extra covers and I can always print up some more pages to bind together. Let me know if you want one.

John and Jordan Book

This 50 page book was created back in the spring of 2007. It includes artwork from various artists including Caitlin Cunningham, and Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, in addition to an audio cd from Chris Mucci of Sundogpeacehouse and Will Goode of Wilderness. The John and Jordan book was printed in an edition of 100, and each copy has 50 individually silk screened pages.

Blast From the Past!

I found some extra covers from our printing of 'Mini-Rugs' back in the winter of 2008. They were hidden away in a secret book box so I decided to take them out and print up some pages. This time around, 'Mini-Rugs' is limited to an edition of 18.

ASSS and Chrome Wings

While I don't have any photos of the new books, I do have a photo from the new poster/work session making a tour poster for ASSS and Chrome Wings. Look out for this one up and down the west coast.

Kitty Cat News

Hey, so we made a new poster and some new zines and stuff. I'll take some photos of them and post them in the next couple of days, I swear.

The Kitty in Kitty Cat Press

For those of you wondering about Kitty Cat Press' namesake, here she is, in all her sleepy glory. She just moved in and has been working between naps at our Portland office.

Gnomes

Caitlin learned how to silkscreen today and look what she made! She printed them on some vintage yellow sticker paper. Watch out for some of these gnomes to be creeping around Baltimore this week!

A Good Start Makes All The Difference.

I just finished assembling Tad Kimball’s book, “A Good Start Makes All The Difference.” Serigraph cover, 30 pages, and an edition of 111.

Jordan has been waiting to cut his new book “Shapes,” which should be done within the week. Its going to be an exciting release. Some other projects on the horizon: “Friends” (edited by Jordan), Kitty Cat Press Reader Vol. 2 (edited by Tad Kimball), “Randoms” (drawings by Jordan) and “Clouds” (drawings by Jordan). We’ll keep you posted on their release.

'Shapes' Preview

Jordan has been working tirelessly on his new, fully screenprinted book “shapes.” When finished it will be 14, 1-color print pages perfect bound to a 2-color print cover. Last night we collated all the books--somewhere around 200. These lovely books should be out in early July.

Harsh Sunshine

We just finished printing this poster, and it looks rad. Shorty Kinda Crazy, Nervous and the Kid, and Harsh Sunshine at Valentine's on June 29th. Designed by Jordan and printed by Tyler!

We made these fine notebooks the other day. We ran out so we made them again yesterday, only this time we stamped them! Send us your name and address and we'll send you a notebook. Since we don't charge, you can make a dollar donation if you're feeling generous.
