I have begun an annual print run titled "GG".
It has become an annual event serendipitously, rather than through thoughtful intent, but I like that it has emerged in this way. Always using wood type. Always using random letters rather than a consistent font.
On the weekend I got to play with my new magnets (courtesy of Springtide Press) in the bed of the galley proofing press.
We had also recently purchased some random wood type - all a bit oversized and I thought I would like to use it for my next GG print.
Here is the wood type set rather unorthodoxically in the press.
And here are the prints that emerged. I love the energy in this edition!
Multiples drying.
This is the third print in the 'collection', and the first two can been seen here.
2016 - GG
2017- GG I
And now we have GG II. Long may the girls go!
