'Modern Love' // Original letterpress print // limited edition

'Modern Love' handprinted letterpress print

Celebrating the words of David Bowie in original typographic art.

This song title print ‘Modern Love’ is taken from his 1983 album Let's Dance, which was co-produced by the legendary Nile Rogers of Chic.

Of course these words could also reference anything or anyone else that mean something to you.

This print has been created by hand. Using vintage wooden type blocks, which are hand set, hand inked, and then handprinted using eco-friendly professional printing inks onto lovely heavyweight paper.

Each one is printed by hand, by me, in my Yorkshire studio. Because all my prints are printed by hand this makes every single one of them a unique reproduction, and subtle variations will occur from print to print in detail. Which is the whole beauty of the process and creation of handmade prints - no two prints are ever exactly the same! You get a piece of art that is individual and unique.

My prints are created in limited editions, so each print is also hand titled, numbered and signed by me in pencil.

To be really clear, you are purchasing the print ONLY. No frames or mounts included - framed and mounted prints shown in my images are for illustration purposes only. You can purchase frames (and mounts) for this size of print very easily and affordably. If you want any guidance or suggestions simply email me.

Packaging: All my prints come unframed, with a protective card backing, and wrapped in a clear protective compostable & biodegradable alternative to cellophane. No plastic here! Then packed inside a card backed envelope.

Postage: Prints are sent on a tracked service within the UK.

Planet: I want my print making to have the least impact on the plant as possible. So I use professional UK made vegetable oil based eco-friendly printmaking inks (and no solvents are used in the studio). All prints are sent to you in plastic-free packaging too.
