Letterpressed so deeply it looks carved, I could eat this print for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The texture creates another layer of world to explore beyond the haunting illustrations.

Project Description
Illustrations commissioned by Hugh Howey (Bestselling Author of Wool) for his latest book: Sand.Production Lesson(s)
Being for a Sci-Fi novel, I wanted these to have a vintage feel to them, and with using only one color there needed to be a lot of contrast. The heavy black areas were the tricky part with going the letterpress route — especially looking to avoid dithering and ink bleed into the detail. Ty from The Happy Envelope was able to achieve an excellent representation of the original artwork by using a tight Moiré pattern in those areas.
