The Linotype Daily (now Occasionally) was recently featured in Italy’s newest, print-only graphic design magazine, Grafica, in an article written by Francesca Colonia. More information on the project can be found here, and the collected box containing the first year of the project was recently purchased by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and can be visited at the RISD Museum, the Providence Public Library, and the Codex Foundation in Oakland, California. The project continues, and can be followed via instagram or at Bluesky.
The Fall, Jonathan Weinberg
We are excited to share images of a new print portfolio produced with artist Jonathan Weinberg for his recently released boxed set of prints based on stories from Genesis. Jonathan is the Curator of The Maurice Sendak Foundation, and the prints are based on drawings he has been working on over the pandemic. Initially started as digital drawings, the images were converted to hand-printed relief prints, then scanned, reworked by the artist, and transferred to polymer plates in the shop. The portfolio contains fifteen 9” x 12” prints and one 12”x18” print, all printed letterpress in deep relief on Somerset 250gsm cover, in a signed boxed edition of 50 copies. Some images of the process are below, and you can see more finished examples or buy the boxed set at Jonathan’s website.
