Play on...

Inspired by these in a recent  post, my new print for the Leeds Print Festival. Playing homage to vinyl and the art of the album cover. 50cm x 50cm print, eight passes on the proofing press and printed using 66 line hand carved Latin Condensed and wood furniture.
The wood type came off a kitchen ceiling in Bradford so only fitting that it made it debut in Leeds! I have a total of 56 pieces plus punctuation, it was part of a mad wood type collage and came complete with epoxy resin and bits of plaster! Operating a clean as I need to print system...
I ended up with 8 decent prints not sure whether to put the print in production or not? Whatever the outcome I had a bloody good time printing them ;)
As usual your comments good or bad are much appreciated x

  2. That wooden type is amazing! Was looking forward to seeing this and not disappointed at all. Love everything about this print, Jax - the colours, the piano keys - so clever -and the square album cover type shape!

  4. Hi Jaqui, it was good to meet you at the Leeds Print Festival, and have the honour of setting up my stall in front of this poster (I did get a little tired of saying no when people asked me if it was mine!) and I am still flabbergasted that you bought one of my prints too! Ok, so how do I get me one of these babies? I should have tried to do a deal with you at the time, I know, but here I am, in a regretful state, offering my soul up to be picked bare...
