Smiley #2

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight”

We all need some happiness in our lives, so I’ve created ‘Smiley’ is a large format, limited edition, letterpress poster, born from humorous ‘happy’ terms and topped off with a smile!

Created by overlaying positive, encouraging words, graduating in colour from yellow to red across the poster. The final print run was to overlay an oversized, silver smiley face with accompanying stars.

The print is created on high quality 200gsm Vellum smooth paper.

A limited edition run of 20 prints were produced. Each print is unique in both style and layout.

These letterpress posters has been hand inked and printed. They are individually signed, numbered and embossed. All posters will be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and shipped in a cardboard tube.

Fresh Lemon Print by Phil Gambrill is a typographic and letterpress studio creating limited edition art using traditional printing techniques.

Phil is an award-winning graphic designer who started his career as a designer in London's West End. He worked with a number of high-profile music industry clients before co-founding Fresh Lemon UK in 2002.

In 2015 he branched out to Perth, Australia and established Fresh Lemon Pty Ltd. Shortly afterwards Phil reignited his passion for vintage printing processes and started to get ‘hands on’ once again. He imported printing presses, type cases and equipment from around the world to start up Fresh Lemon Print.

He now enjoys nothing more than lifting a fresh print from the press and marvelling at the wonderful imperfections caused by the aging wood type, whilst cursing in frustration as to why certain letters, just won’t print!
