Erik Braun is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn. He works in multiple mediums, and is an experienced typographer. Erik made a custom face specifically for his project and approached me about how to make large format prints. We made a giant positioning system and did it the hard way- by hand!
By using a wall sized custom designed wooden jig, and one small screen for every letter, we printed lines of type one by one on 8 foot pieces of canvas tacked to the wall.

The smaller pieces are one color screenprints on cream Rives BFK.
