BARACK OBAMA LETTERPRESS POSTER BY INDIAN ARTIST KISHORE for my faithful reader CONANIMA




Hailing from Chennai, India, artist Kishore has painstakingly compiled and created this gorgeous letterpress print. Composed of MrsEaves, Bickam Script Pro, Adobe Garamond and the Trajan font families, this platen press print is now available through the artists website for only $40 shipped

Each poster measures 14" by 20" and is printed on handmade cotton paper by a good old platen letterpress machine - one of the very few left in Chennai which can handle this big a poster. Due to the handmade nature of the paper, each poster is printed uniquely with varying intensity of the black ink on different parts of the paper.
