Lights, camera, action!

One of the projects at Type Camp was to print 3 action words - one in metal type, one in wooden type and then stick one on using letraset. My words were yawn (metal), sleep (wooden) and dream (letraset). I printed 40 copies with yawn and sleep. Then I handed over 5 of each of my precious prints to 4 people for them to respond. It was great to see the reaction that people had to my words and the outcome as prints.

With 17 type campers all doing the same the array of resulting prints was quite impressive.

I liked all four responses to my prints but these are my favourites as I will probably get them framed to put in the baby's room.



Even more images from Type Camp are now available on Flickr!

Ever wondered what the keyboard player from A-ha does the other 47.8% (his words) of the time? Turns out he's the rather talented visual artist, Magne F. I went to hear him in conversation with Paul Stolpher at Edinburgh Printmakers. These prints are part of his Alpha Beta project which is currently showing there until 6th March. It's well worth a visit if you have the time.
