29
‘Celebrating Modern Printmaking’ A popular magazine celebrating and exploring the vast and varied world of printmaking and inky-ness; spotlighting artists, presenting interviews, visiting studios and more. Comparing the humble artist to the majestic many-limbed Octopus, John Coe’s editor's letter ruminates on the precise balancing act of art-making and admin, taking the time to reflect and reset before launching into the year ahead with renewed creative vigour. Issue #29 encourages playful exploration, featuring 'inky inspiration from around the world', colourful mementos from Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.'s three-decade-long love affair with letterpress, and an assortment of monochrome (but by no means monotonous) linocuts by Aga Kubish, plus more. On the JournalAt work with John Coe: ‘I first came to printmaking via my first magazine, Boneshaker which was about cycling, but we worked with illustrators to create screenprints to sell online and at bike shows. I designed one myself and had a go at printing it too and I loved the hands-on side of turning a design that had been made on a computer into a tactile print.’read more pressingmattersmag.com
