Cranky Pressman

The SOCIETY of ILLUSTRATORS

~ 52nd Annual Exhibition ~

    Cranky Pressman is pleased as Punch to have our piece included in the current Society of Illustrators "Annual Exhibition: Illustrators 52". The work we call 'Old Creative Juices' was created by our old friend the talented and witty David Flaherty. Cheers Dave and congratulations!
    Founded in 1901, The Society is a creative industry and New York institution. The annual show celebrates outstanding illustrative works in three categories; Sequential and Uncommissioned, Book and Editorial, as well as an Advertising and Institutional exhibit where our letterpress print is featured. Opening reception for the Ad category is tonight, March 5, 2010 at the museum’s galleries in New York City’s Upper East Side.

{ CREATE YOUR 2010 LETTERPRESS CALENDARS }

SAY SO LONG TO ANNUS HORRIBILIS WITH YOUR 2010 DESIGN.

¶ It was clear this time last year that 2009 was going to be quite scary and ugly which is why we produced the calendar pictured here. It was our way of bidding good riddance to the horrible year before it even began (and when it finally ends as can be seen after the break). Now Cranky Pressman is pleased to announce the introduction our Stocky Weight Calendars for you to mark in your own way, for yourself or your clients, what will hopefully turn out to be a much better year in 2010. The heavy backing board on these old-style calendars is letterpress printed with your original artwork. Branded calendars offer great advertising and design opportunities. People still need to stick things on their wall which can't be done with the computer-powered kind.
