Burlesque of NA’s obama test prints
OMG Posters! reports that Burlesque of NA will be selling a bunch of Obama test prints. They are all 20″ x 26″, and will be priced at $75-$300. They will go on sale tomorrow 30 October, at 2pm CST. Visit BurlesqueDesign.com to order.
Burlesque Design has decided to offer up a bunch of Barack Obama related test prints for sale online. In case you didn’t know, Burlesque did the printing for the entire Upper Playground Obama print campaign, almost 20 designs total, so there will be a lot of variety.
Has anyone else noticed an obsession with test prints in the poster art community? Its a cool concept, but it leaves me wondering how planned they are. At some point, does the artist stop layering ink onto a test print because it looks ‘finished’? If so, does it matter?
There has to be planning, we are talking about craftsman and designers. Most likely they stop on various stages of muddiness. Must be nice to have a free feeling like that. Almost like Bob Ross and his ‘happy accidents.’
P.S. that just sounds awful out of context. Apologies…

a lot of times, test prints have to be stopped because the paper becomes too wet or heavy with the weight of the multiple layers of ink.
though…if it’s something more publicly displayed, like these obama prints, it may be pre-planned to sell the ‘test’ prints.
