From velociraptors to romans, Einstein to robots and Napolean to the first man on the moon, I'd like to think this print will keep you occupied for a while. The best way I can describe the making of this print is comparing it to a jigsaw. You don't even want to know how difficult it is to get everything to 'slot' into each other so they're perfectly visible and, at the same time, not obscuring something else. Add into that colour and compositional balance and it can take a very long time.
I wanted to get as many of the fascinating entries from the historical timeline that the 'A History Of Us' show is based on into a screen print and this is the chaotic result! Since we started pulling our own prints in-house, this print (with eight glorious colours, each laid down one by one) was a massive challenge for us but we think it was well worth the sweat...some of which might be in the ink but hopefully you find that more interesting than anything else, hah!
