Screen printed poster series made for
Iskra Print Collective Presents: Raised on Paper
“Printing pixels” had been a growing concept in my head for a while, and in general, the contrast between digital and analog. I tapped into my nostalgia for classic video games as a source of inspiration, and selected original 8bit characters to abstract into geometric compositions.
For such a digital-centric design, it was very important to me to use completely analog printing methods. All of the films for the series were hand-cut out of rubylith, and meticulously aligned for a perfect registration.
