Unexpected Events

Unexpected Events

I've been meaning to mention a bit of band news... We've decided to do a sort of bonus limited edition release of the new record "Waves Broken" - there'll be 200 numbered CDs, with packaging hand-made by the band. I've already been using a very antique letterpress set to do the text down the slipcase spine, and I'm now learning how to screenprint. There'll also be some other individual and unique touches on each CD package, which will come in a sleeve made from recycled card.

And, just so this hasn't been totally off-topic, the plan is that each one will contain a miniature photo that I'm going to do. Also, the process for making the screenprinting stencil does involve coating and exposing a light-sensitive emulsion, so that's virtually photography anyway!
