Some folks at the University of Rochester asked me to design original artwork relating to the Science Fiction Research Association’s annual conference and its theme: Trans People Are (In) The Future. The conference also aligned with an art exhibition on campus titled Trans Futurity.

The client asked for 150 letterpress printed posters, specifically requesting to use antique wood type and hand-carved linocut blocks.

I sketched up some concepts, set & proofed the antique type, carved the block, and printed, printed printed.

These are limited edition reduction linoblock posters, hand carved and letterpress printed on Vandercook proofing presses alongside antique wood and metal type. The printing was done in two different community studios in New York City.
