Dennis Ichiyama is a former Designer-in-Residence at the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum and currently Professor of Art and Design at Purdue University. Of his experiments with pieces of broken wood type and lead rules, he says “I’m just picking letters and colors and playing with them.” To create his prints, he starts with 25 sheets of paper and then layers colors on top. “When I get tired, when I don’t know what else to do, I stop,” he says. “And by the time I’m done, I usually end up with about 15 that I think are good.” That’s one of Ichiyama’s prints to the left. You can see lots more here. (First seen on Colour Lovers Blog)
