First of all, thank you to everyone that has expressed words of encouragement for Helmet & Hound. It is very rewarding when something that you believe in resonates with others. Since it is in the beginning stages, there is a lot of unproven terrain that I will have to cross.
This past week has been mainly focused on figuring out how to ship prints. This involved several runs to a local print shop to do test prints, stopping by Fedex for envelopes, and shopping at a few craft stores to try out different packing materials. While not related to art, I found myself enjoying bustling about constantly thinking about the best way to protect the prints during shipping. I didn't think it would be fun, but perhaps because I am so attached to these images, everything surrounding them has become something I care about. Not a bad thing I guess. Except I know it'll be a tough learning curve once I have to deal with criticism. Anyway, here are a few photos documenting the process, as well as a rough sketch/sneak peek of the piece I am currently working on.
Thick mounting board to prevent bending during shipping.
Cut to size.
Custom lettering for Helmet & Hound!
Saw Rain sleeping while I snapped photos of the packing process.
Finished.
Rain likes being under this table when it's set up.
Ready for the post office.
