I recently came across this announcement/mailer in my archives and I was reminded of how much I love old wood type!
Matt Gonzalez, among MANY other things, is a wonderful collage artist and Lola Home Store (which sadly closed last year) was showing his work and throwing a lively artist’s reception. The colorful collage shown was one of my favorites in the exhibit and I felt the style and personality paired so well with the mixture of old wood typefaces that I chose to work with.
I also had fun adding the playful use of color to complement the piece.
I do so miss the great projects and events that I got to be involved with for Lola Home!
