Jealous East

“I am delighted to work with Jealous on two new editions. These large scale screen prints take the typographic simplicity of my letterpress work to a new and exciting place."

"The increase in size restates the message of my work not only in scale but also in intent. The two phrases I’ve picked for the editions are my personal mission statement, I think we should all be more inquisitive and much nicer to each other. My ambition for these pieces is that they will speak to as many people as possible, they are intended as positive propaganda to promote a happier way of living."
