Embarking on an exciting new project this month - to design and print an edition of 200 album covers for Guy Malkerson's new album 'Folklore'. I produced a linocut for the front cover and designs for polymer plates to print the inside, spine and back cover in blue and gold. All printed on 100% recycled card stock.
Huge thanks to Ruth Broadwayand Angie Butler for the loan of your presses for this project. My trusty Adana is having a rest and in need of a checkup so I'm extremely grateful to have your wonderful support to enable me to complete this project.
Thank you very much to Tony and Glen for my new collection of type and sorts.
