Letterpress design

Another letterpressed design, with the image dominating the overall design instead of the type. I carved the fighting roosters out of a linoleum block and used 10 line Gothic Extra Condensed wood type for the lettering. I printed 9 total on beige colored BFK paper. Also on a flat-bed cylinder Vandercook press.

Letterpressed broadsheet

Letterpressed broadsheet printed with a flat-bed cylinder Vandercook proof press. The type used was 30pt Garamond Light and the paper used is grey BFK. The quote was taken from Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian.

       I carved the image of Death riding a horse from a linoleum block mounted on wood. This is the block after printing.
