Aardvark takes Letterpress to Haute New Places


It's been a great week at Aardvark Letterpress. The official launch of our Fine Art Editions Division was a big success and the party was for all of us what remarkable artist Ed Wexler ("El Jefe")called "one of the best nights of my adult life!" We stopped counting guests at 400 but people continued to come and view our one-night only street gallery at our location and to buy prints long into the night. Pictured above are some of the Loteria Series Artists during the calm before the storm, from lower left: Claudia Laub, Dan McCleary above in white button-down, Ed Wexler, Dave Lefner behind Ed, Rick von Dehl behind Dave, Daniel Gonzalez next to him, Master Pressman Bill Berkuta in far back, and on the right, Somsara Rielly and Andre Miripolsky. In the background, just beyond the window of the shop is the installation created for us by Erick Weiss and Co. of Honeysweet Productions, Inc. Thank you , Erick, Victoria, Greg, Francis, Ernesto for your extraordinary contributions to our Event. You can link to any of our artists from our links section. Thank you, artists, for coming early for the photo. More pix to come.
