I was delighted this morning to happen upon a wonderfully creative piece of letterpress work, by Ross Shaw and Jon Kielty of JMG, on the cover of the current edition of Le Cool.
Letterpress cover by JMG, for the Winter (96) edition of Le Cool
Jon Kielty and Ross Shaw, aka JMG.
Ross, Jon and myself collaborate under the guise of The Occasional Print Club, along with Pat Randle, producing experimental letterpress work in addition to maintaining our own solo and joint projects.
Le Cool magazine is a free, weekly magazine presenting a selection of concerts, djs, exhibitions, odd movies and other cultural events and happenings. It is intriguing that a magazine that will only ever exist in digital form should feature a cover created entirely by hand using the ancient craft of letterpress, although this is further evidence of renewed interest in the process.
