Wallpaper Magazine Handmade 2012
The custom covers (and some of the process videos) for Wallpaper’s Handmade issue are out. Check them all out here.
This is a new poster I did for the Poole Printmaker’s exhibition, which is part of Dorset Art Weeks. It’s called ‘City Sea’, and it’s part of Edgar Allan Poe’s poem ‘The City in the Sea’. The original plan was to do all the stanzas, but I ran out of type, so had to settle for the second stanza. The back layer ‘Death Looks Gigantically Down’ is set in 40line Sans Condensed wood type (manufactured by Day & Collins). The second layer is in 12line Winchester Bold wood type (Stephenson Blake), 6line Venetian wood type (DeLittle) and 60pt Temple Script. Final layer (the actual poem itself), is in 24pt Gill Sans Italic, and Gill Sans Bold. As usual, it was printed on 145gsm Zerkall Extra Smooth printmaking paper, on the Stephenson Blake S3 proof press.
