Print & Play. The Art of LEGO Letterpress
Sometime late summer 2022, the decision was made. That publication about printing with LEGO bricks really needed to be made.
Fast forward a year and change and oh joy: the book, it is finished. Brother in arts Martijn van der Blom and me each present over fifty works. All printed using the custom LEGO Letterpress we developed.
A selection from the first ten years of LEGO Letterpress. LEGO letterpress dus.
Quite the job, making a book! Without editor Eline Levering we would not have been able to write down what we wanted to say. Jannie de Groot took much care of the graphic design, photography and the design of the book object as a whole. A special binding method, the grid and even the thickness of the book are meaningful aspects of the whole. Nanda Behare helped translate things to English. Thomas Gravemaker wrote the introduction.
For over fifty years now, Grafisch Atelier Hilversum provides the studio environment where innovations like this new printing method can be developed and supported this book with a generous financial contribution. Many thanks to all involved!
