New Impressions Spotlight: "The Godfather" by Begiaundi Press @begiaundipress. The scene I most remember from The Godfather is the one where Sonny's car is machine-gunned with thousands of bullets at a speedway turnpike. This poster is a typographic representation of that scene. It is part of the series Movie Prints, a limited edition of 25 prints that interpret in a typographic key some of my favorite films. Process: I took a cardboard sheet, punched it with scissors, inked it with silver ink, and used it as a block to print it on black paper. The main actors and actresses were printed with metal type and gold ink in a second print-run. - #letterpress #letterpressprinting #newimpressions #newimpressions2023 #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #metaltype #collagraph

New Impressions Spotlight: "Heartland, Land Series" by Katherine J. Fries @paintxnumberpress. This piece was crafted using four layers of split-fountain pressure printing of hand-drawn and cut stencils to create the background/landscape, followed by an additional five layers of split-fountain text using handset wood and metal type. In this series, each layer subtly shifts in hue, opacity, and intensity to create a collaged landscape that mimics the feeling of driving through the prairie of the midwest at different times of the day. The text nods to the heroic nature and mythos of the landscape while also acknowledging the complicated and problematic nature of that mythos.

New Impressions Spotlight: "Teddy (Shih Tzu)" by Theo Miller @_theomiller. I have been interested in pictorial letterpress for a few years now. While my previous work used color to allow representation or rendering, I wanted to make a piece of work only using black ink and the tonal qualities of each border. Teddy is the result of this exploration. - www.theomiller.co.uk - #letterpress #letterpressprinting #newimpressions #newimpressions2023 #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #metaltype

New Impressions Spotlight: "The Letterpress Manifesto" by New North Press @newnorthpress. A collaboration with Nigel Bents, a good friend and ex-Senior Lecturer of BA Graphic Design at Chelsea College of Art. Over the 18 years that Nigel brought student groups to New North Press to learn letterpress, he became well-versed in explaining its many benefits to a generation of budding designers immersed in the digital world. This sermon gradually took shape in poster form as the jam-packed manifesto you see here. It was patiently typeset (and reset after a large section was accidentally dropped!) over several years and eventually was ready to be printed at the end of 2022. Predominantly set in wood and metal type, some extra artwork elements were added as magnesium plates, where possible rescaling or supplementing illustration blocks from our collection. Printed in two colors tightly registered on an Albion hand press in a limited edition of 100. - new-north-press.co.uk - #letterpress #letterpressprinting #newimpressions #newimpressions2023 #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking

New Impressions Spotlight: "Type" by Marcos Mello @mellotipografo. Posters were letterpress printed using wood type and metal cliches produced especially for this project with the digital Noka font by the Brazilian type designer Daniel Sabino. The poster was printed first using a Vandercook Universal 3 and then on a platen press adapted for large formats. The artwork had eleven passes to register the typographic shapes. Conceptually, the project is characterized as an exploration of graphic language in dialogue between the digital and analog typographic universes. The artwork explores the shapes, textures, and countless possibilities that typographic language invites us each to consider. Printed on Fedrigoni paper with different colors, 300gr, 20 numbered copies. - www.oficinatipografica.com.br - #letterpress #letterpressprinting #newimpressions #newimpressions2023 #contemporaryprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #printmaking #woodtype #metaltype
