Huge frameable inspirational 'Circus' print. Handmade by me in Italy.
SIZING - 550mm x 970mm
I went to Tuscany on an artist residency at the amazing Two Cents Press and they had a huge poster press and some amazing vintage woodtype so I made some big work and loved every minute of it.
RUN AWAY AND JOIN THE CIRCUS is hand printed on thick art paper using Rubine Red and Printer's Black ink. I spent two days in very extreme heat getting this to work and I was utterly THRILLED when the first one came off the press.
I have only made ten and they will be signed and numbered. I can either trim the raw pages for you or you can let you framer do it for you. Let me know when you order.
NB: As with any handmade prints such as these there are going to be little areas where the prints differ from each other - when you buy I will contact you to show you a selection to choose from. I love the idiosyncracies of letterpress - it bring CHARACTER!
This design would look awesome in a bar, in an office or even above your bed! Or, obviously, behind the Prime Minister's head during a very important address to the nation...

My name is Simon Trewin, Founder and Chief Inkoholic. My prints, books and cards always start out with me scratching my head and thinking, “I wonder what would happen if I...." and then I am away!
Experimentation is at the heart of my practice - I love playing around with inks, vintage papers, wooden illustration blocks and historic metal type to a clanking soundtrack of my wonderful family of hand+foot operated presses. I also love classic typefaces, bold colours and an ever-present sense of how good prints can make a real instant impact. As you will see - I can rarely resist sprinkling a sense of humour in to the mix too!
Running through everything I do is my passion to help keep heritage crafts alive and to enjoy that sense of a historical connection to the printers, presses and ephemera that have come before me. I also truly believe in the benefits of slowing down, switching off and zoning into the deep focus that this process of discovery inspires in me.
In a world where everything is too fast, I enjoy nothing more than closing my studio door and diving into the rich and ever-rewarding world of letterpress printmaking.
