Ha-Ha! Graffik Sticka’s, you so crazy! It’s impossible to imagine how this wacky print-related prank could go wrong:

For fans of printmaking AND Flight of the Conchords, Tyler Stout has some new 5-color screenprints. He’s releasing them tomorrow (June 1, 2009) but you’ll have to check his site for more details.
Last year, Pink Tentacle did a really great post on Joge-e (上下絵), 19th Century Japanese two-way woodcuts. The PT post has more images and there’s additional info at nonsenselit including links to western examples.
If these images appeal to you, you may want to follow this link for a more mainstream example of upside-down printed matter. And there’s an art world-sanctioned version, too. Posted on Yahoo! Answers: “Printmaking advantages or disadvantages?”
We have some knowledgable readers here at Printeresting. Maybe you folks could provide some answers? The Dutch company Shapeways is an early entry in a market that’s likely to grow: consumer-friendly online 3-D printing. Experienced 3-D modelers can upload a file and have an object delivered in 10 – 20 days. These users can also sell their objects in personal on-demand shops. Less-savvy users can use “the Shapeways Creator” to customize a number of products: cufflinks, napkin rings, and bizarre low-relief images of family members:
The site’s been up (in Beta mode) for about nine months, but Shapeways has made a publicity push with a recent Maker Faire contest, and a current ‘Faces’ contest. This isn’t an endorsement. Frankly, these efforts have yet to produce really exciting results. But Shapeways is part of a larger phenomenon of production-outsourcing that’s worth our attention. While the company is a for-profit venture, its marketing materials read like critical literature (although this blog entry on microproduction may be more of a manifesto). (Via Chris Clark Via BoingBoing) Over the last week or two, this little device from Cargo Collective has been busy making the rounds throughout the blogosphere. It’s too print-related for Printeresting not to follow suit with a quick post. It’s pretty self-explanatory so I’ll let the pictures do the talking.
