stale food



this is the color version of a drawing i did this past summer.
Bruce Willen and I (aka posttypography) were asked by our friend Brian Ralph to help him out with a class he was teaching on self-publishing. We talked to the kids about poster making and then screenprinted a two-page spread with them for their major class project...a small book...our pritn was the first one made for it, so what we did would determine the content of the book. We decided to do a Fat Sandwich, specifically, the Fat Indian. The actual print wasn't full color like this. The filled in areas, instead of color, were printed with butter, the linework was a dark brown. The butter soaked into/stained the paper (but faded in visibility over time a good bit, but not totally) and smelled nice and salty.
