Messing Around at the International Printing Museum!

So my newest favorite place in LA is the International Printing Museum in Carson, CA! I can’t believe I grew up in LA with this in my backyard and didn’t know about it. So the Hubs and I are now regulars and help out every Saturday that we can. Come down and visit us there and visit their Etsy store HERE

Anyway, I couldn’t resist grabbing this little flourish and making something out of it… it looked like an awesome little calligraphic pile of poo! So I grabbed some little lightning bolt border for stink lines and a star for the background… AND VOILA! I tried putting “PU” on one but not sure if it enhances or detracts. I’m still pretty crap at letterpress (I did try registering on a tabletop Vandercook hand proof press) but it’s SO MUCH FUN! I only wish it was bigger so I could make a poster of it for the bathroom.

New Pillows are Up Online!

The new pillows made it up on the website and they look totally amazing! I wanted to make some pillows with some 70s flair and handiwork  and Urban Outfitters did a great job working with that vibe.  AND you don’t have to worry about that “grandma’s couch” straight out of the 70s smell! What more could you ask for…

Check them out here.

Urban Outfitters Pillows by Alyssa Zukas

Urban Outfitters just sent me production samples of the pillows I recently designed for them based on my t-shirt series. I’m really happy with how the crewel embroidery came out!
