Hand Pulled Screenprint","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreetings From...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty years of screen printing, and this is what happens when you throw the rulebook out. I've been trying to crack the code on mixing collage with bold type for years — getting the mess and the clarity to play nicely together. This series finally got me there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts with the postcard. That bit of holiday nonsense your nan sends from Skegness. But these aren't tourist board Cornwall or Brighton. They're the places that stick in your ribs. The chippy queues in Brighton. The fog rolling into St Ives. The Tyne Bridge at closing time. Columbia Road when the flower sellers pack up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process is a tough one. Four layers of stochastic screenprint — that's breaking the image into thousands of tiny dots, each one pulled by hand. It's how newspapers printed photos in the 1970s, before everything went digital. Messy, unpredictable, full of character. The kind of texture you can't fake on a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm working with collage elements — vintage maps, old typography, found ephemera — then breaking it all down into those four colour passes. Cyan, magenta, yellow, black. Each layer has to register perfectly, but the hand-pulled process means tiny variations creep in. That's not a bug, it's the point. Each print is slightly different from the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typography comes from that golden era of British design — late 60s, early 70s. Think holiday camp posters, British Rail signage, seaside arcade graphics. When letters had weight and weren't afraid to shout. I'm not copying it — I'm filtering it through twenty years of knowing how ink behaves on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive places, five different moods. Cornwall's all rugged coastline and maritime grit. Brighton's got that seaside punk energy. Newcastle's industrial romance. Dublin's literary pubs and Georgian squares. Columbia Road's Sunday morning flower market chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-layer hand-pulled stochastic screenprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition of 100 per location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 420x297mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e350gsm Cairn recycled paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned and embossed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold unframed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFree UK Shipping:\u003c\/b\u003e Wrapped in acid-free tissue, shipped in sturdy cardboard with certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It's about finding a visual language that feels honest to how these places actually sit in your memory — rough around the edges, full of contradictions, impossible to pin down completely. For anyone who believes the best holidays happen in your own backyard, and that good printing is worth the extra effort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OLI FOWLER ART","offers":[{"title":"Cornwall","offer_id":55983820734850,"sku":"OLI-243","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brighton","offer_id":56527616508290,"sku":"OLI-244","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Newcastle","offer_id":56527616541058,"sku":"OLI-246","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dublin","offer_id":56527616573826,"sku":"OLI-247","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Columbia Road","offer_id":56531193004418,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/5620\/1525\/files\/greetings-fromcornwall-5823405.jpg?v=1775224679","url":"https:\/\/shop.olifowler.com\/products\/greetings-from-cornwall","provider":"OLI FOWLER ART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
