"Run For Your Life!" ZOMBIE 5K t-shirt design

Well, I think I'm finished with the design for the front of the "Run For Your Life!" ZOMBIE 5K run that we are putting on in conjunction with the Shaun Luu Horror Fest.  All money raised from the 5k run/skate/1 mile zombie walk will be donated to Golisano Childrens Hospital and The American Cancer Society to support brain cancer research and treatment along with all the proceeds from the horror fest.  Everyone participating in the run/walk will get one of these t-shirts.  I'm going to start printing them after work tomorrow.  I have a few very long days and nights ahead of me to get the fronts and backs of these shirts printed in time for the event on Saturday!  I'm almost done with the design/sponsor list for the back of the shirts.  I dont think I've been this stressed out and tired....ever, actually.   But it's something that is for a good cause and in memory of a really great guy that I really miss having around.  Cancer can suck it!

Shaun Luu Horror Fest color #4

My girlfriend and I finished up the printing on the posters last night!  I ran into a couple of minor snags with the last color but I was able to work it out.  They look pretty awesome if I do say so myself!

Before....
After....



The last thing I have to do is trim the extra paper on the right hand side.  I'm pretty stoked with how these turned out.  Not bad for the first poster I've printed in years!

Shaun Luu Horror Fest color #2

Last night I got the second color finished up for the Horror Fest posters.  It's rad seeing these come together after many months of drawing and designing.  Check it out....

Heres the screen for the second color....
Prints drying...
Before printing the second color....
And after.....

Mostly dried prints moved from the line to the livingroom floor to dry a bit more and make room on the line for the really wet prints as they come off the press....

2008 Shaun Luu Horror Fest posters

I started printing the posters for the fourth annual Shaun Luu Horror Fest the other night with the help of my beautiful assistant/girlfriend.  They are going to be four color posters on 100 pound French cover stock recycled Speckletone paper.  They measure 16" x 25."  These are the first posters I've printed in a few years and they are definitely the largest things I've ever printed.

They're looking pretty nice so far.  I've been taking some pictures of the progress.  Here are some shots from printing the first color....check it out.....

The extra space on the right of the print will be trimmed off at the end of the print run.  I just left some paper for registration marks.
