Imagine letterpress printing getting a mention in Sports Illustrated! Here’s what writer Alexander Wolff wrote: “Each morning during the [2013] Tour de France, members of the [Newark, Del.] Lead Graffiti printmaking collective gathered to watch that day’s stage. They took note of every salient breakaway, pratfall and Phil Ligett bon mot, then spent the rest of the day producing a broadside that captured the action. The results are like the peloton, a riot of shapes and colors. The designers call what they do ‘endurance letterpress,’ for they repeat the routine 23 days in a row and, like the Tour itself, scrupulously post total elapsed time.”
Quite a feat—23 posters in 23 days! See all the posters here. And they’ve done this for 2011 and 2012 as well!
