Sugar Skull Letterpress Poster – six colors
Size:11×17
Price: $35
Using the unique art of David Lozeau we hand cut linoleum, hand set type and ran multiple passes of ink for countless hours to create this incredible letterpress poster.
The Sugar Skull designed by David Lozeau combines Carnival, Day of the Dead, and tattoo imagery. Underneath it we layered multiple colors of wood and metal type to create a rich composition. This poster is limited to a run of 200 and is signed by both artists.

I thought this poster was a great example of the different methods of print that work incredibly well with Mexican designs. To be completely honest I'm not a great fan of the composition or the colours used. I feel it is not vibrant enough for Mexicana artwork, however I can understand that subtlety was what the designers were aiming for. Below are fantastic images that give an insight into the process these hand crafted posters went through.
