Transcript

My print club pays my best, and I'm gonna show you my process for September. As always, every month I make two paintings because I have two print clubs, but let's just focus on the Wilkes original print club for now. September's painting says, who am I at my worse? Something to consider. I usually worse the painting to Lamont Photographic in L I C to get scanned, and then I took that scan, added a white border, and had it printed on a 24 by 30 inch piece of fine art paper a bunch of times. Then I cut those prints down to six by six inch squares, which was taking way too long, so I called him some backup. And then every month, I write a letter about the theme of the painting, and I drew this apple core in my sketchbook that I turned into the sticker for this month. Then I designed something simple for the envelope in Figma, and I used it for this month's discount code too. I take everything and wrap it in a glossy paper I designed, format the envelope in InDesign, and import the CSV of all the addresses, and then I print them. I pack and stamp every envelope myself. This month, it was a little over 900, which takes about a full day. Then I load them into a box and Uber them to my local post office. They're getting used to me now. And then I go back to my studio and start prepping for the next month.
