Words on stuff - Butterflies 06

Sold Out
£95.00
Select Title

I was going to write something deep and meaningful but it's all just words on stuff.

This run is taken from a beautifully illustrated 16 colour plated book from the 1950s with a hand-pulled, metallic bronze ink screen printed over the top. 

The book was gifted to Jo Colin on his 10th birthday from Linda (information taken from a handwritten note on the inside of the book) and can now be yours to enjoy for many years to come. 

Due to the upcycled nature of the 'Words on stuff' series, expect to see evidence of a past life well lived on each piece of paper printed on.

    About the concept

    In the search to create a fun series exploring a cheeky interplay between typography, language, and imagery, James encountered a stumbling block. As a fan of type, having crafted all the fonts he uses from scratch, he relished the idea of breathing life into his custom fonts on something found, giving it a renewed chance at existence. However, he couldn't make it work. Every outcome sounded derivative and in some ways, a bit cheesy, making it a challenging situation. He struggled to discover his voice in what, at its core, was merely 'words on stuff'... Then, it struck him.
