Big enough to change the room.
These were street objects — printed large, built to stop you from across a boulevard. We print them that way: archival pigment ink on cotton-rag stock, color-managed to a scan deep enough to hold every stone-drawn line at full size. Pick the paper, then pick the wall.

Stone, screen, and street
No poster was made to last.
Litho stones drawn by hand, silkscreens pulled a color at a time, pochoir stencils cut for a single hue — every sheet in this house was wheatpasted into the open air, rented and replaced, never meant to survive. Knowing how a poster was made and posted is how you see one.
