Zeb Love has couple of great releases today through
1xRUN. A Walt Whitman print on paper and wood plus his first ever book titled Serigraphy.
"The original idea came from one afternoon browsing through the library,
looking for any sort of inspiration. At the time I was reading a lot of
Walt Whitman poems. I accidentally stumbled across an image of him, and
thought I'd do a quick sketch. Seems like it was a synchronicity. I let
it sit in my sketchbook for awhile, then reached out to 1xRun to see if
they'd be interested in publishing this print along with my book.
Walt’s expression of connectivity and spirituality is so profound.
His poems and writings still ring true to this day. The text that is on
the bottom of the print is an excerpt from his poem ‘A Song of the
Rolling Earth’:
Whoever you are! motion and reflection are especially for you,
The divine ship sails the divine sea for you.
Whoever you are! you are he or she for whom the earth is solid and liquid,
You are he or she for whom the sun and moon hang in the sky,
For none more than you are the present and the past,
For none more than you is immortality." - Zeb Love
The book is hand made with some of the very best material. Serigraphy is a beautifully unique book in that each copy is different!
Each page is one of Zeb Love's screen printed posters that he printed
himself. There are around 50 pages per book and each book is one of a
kind, including rare/old prints , test prints, and actual printing
films. The books were also screen printed and assembled locally in
Pittsburgh, PA.
"This book was definitely a labor of love. I gathered all my inventory I
planned on using for the books. Cut each poster in specific crops to
accent the art. Made piles of approximately 45-50 pages of posters.
Spread them all throughout my apartment. Assembling each one with a
unique layout, and assortment of rare prints. After all my parts were
done, handed them off to my friends at Modesto. They created a hardbound
cover, gold foiled some maroon cloth, silkscreened the interior with
metallic gold, and bound all my pages together." - Zeb Love
