she's here!

We welcomed a new addition to the Ink+Smog Editions team, our daughter was born at the beginning of June and we couldn't be more in love!

We've been easing back in slowly, first at Renegade Los Angeles at Grand Park in July and then at Unique LA in August.

We've had a great response to some of our new note cards and Greetings from... cards and after taking  the better part of the summer off to adjust to life with bébé, we're starting to get back into the swing of things in the studio so expect some new additions in the coming months.

In the meantime, enjoy the last waning days of summer and have a very happy fall!

Best,
Rosemary+Robin

thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came by to say hi at Renegade this weekend! We really appreciate all of your support, especially considering how hot and humid it was. We had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting lots of new ones! 

L-R: Our new booth display, Renegade set up in Grand Park under the watchful eye of City Hall, some of the lovely customers we had this weekend.

We were so happy to be able to share the relaunch of our older designs with so many familiar faces. We are really pleased with the way that everything is coming along on the new press, not only is the production easier, but the prints are clearer and more even.

L-R: Our newest batch of prints and a new letterpress heart card, our Golden State cards printed on the new press, proofing and packing our Greetings from Los Angeles cards.

We were also really excited to debut our new show display. Our concrete and plywood half-wall got so many compliments and requests for instructions, you can take a look at this project on our Pinterest board to see how it's done.

L-R: Robin manning the booth on Sunday, our new concrete and plywood display, some customers perusing our paper goods.

All in all, it was  a great weekend! The new venue was gorgeous and it was really fun to spend the weekend under the gaze of city hall and the LA Times building. Grand Park is such a wonderful addition to this city, and we really hope to attend more events there in the future!

L-R: Rosemary with Christine from Abacus Row, strategizing for Unique over coffee the morning after Renegade.

In the meantime, we are back in the studio working on a number of different projects in preparation for Unique LA on August 9-10. We're adapting our neighborhood postcards to the new press and working on a few new projects as well. Keep an eye on our Instagram account for a few sneak peeks over the next few weeks!

We hope you're having a great summer so far, it's hard to believe that it's nearly over!

Best,
Rosemary+Robin

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…LIFT OFF! Our Kickstarter has launched!

As many of you know, we recently had some really great news to share about the direction Ink+Smog Editions will be taking in the new year. Well, we are very excited to announce the launch of our Kickstarter campaign! 

We hope you'll come take a look at our project, we have some pretty sweet rewards to share! If you believe in what we're trying to do but can't contribute financially, the best thing you can do is share our project with your friends, family and followers on social media, every little bit helps! 

Thank you so much for all of the kind words and amazing encouragement we've received since we announced our expansion plans back in October. It's been absolutely amazing, and we feel truly lucky! And speaking about being grateful, we couldn't have launched this project without some amazing help from our friends at Half Cut Tea. If you haven't heard about them yet, go check them out now. Their work is amazing!

We're going to be at Renegade LA this weekend at Booth #129 if you want to stop by and say hi. We're so excited about all the changes, and can't wait to share them!
