Rock/pop lyrics letterpress prints.

These are fun.





These are part of Sarah Utter's recent work at Olympia Community Print, where she explored the lyrics that influenced her growing up.

Each print is slightly different, and the color of the inks changed with each one. Smudging and inconsistency are part of the process, and give them a rich character. Hand inked and letter-pressed on an antique "Vandercook 14" proofing press using soy-oil based inks.

These look great put in a simple frame. Ships wrapped in cellophane and backed by a reclaimed album cover.


Each is limited to 20 copies, all numbered on the back.
