Paper Jam Press
80's - 90's hip hop + letterpress + Somerset = we need to add these to our collection.
Every Paper Jam Press poster is hand-pulled through a Vandercook letterpress, set with turn-of-the-century gothic wood type. Each poster comes out just a little bit different, and we like it that way.
Bruce Waldman performing his magic
The amazing Bruce Waldman created this piece in about 45 minutes in front of a group at the new Chelsea NYC Dick Blick store. Since he didn't have a press, Bruce was not able to perform the final step in the process, which was to pull an actual print on paper. What you see above is the ink on plexiglas.
