Plastikcomb interview poster
£15.00
Plastikcomb interview poster between Gavin Ambrose from Unseen Sketchbooks and Aaron Beebe, founder of Plastikcomb magazine.
‘The Plastikcomb interview is the first in a series I’m doing where the interview results in a printed piece. In essence I’m distilling the content of the fuller interview to a single word, phrase or sentence. the series takes a long time to produce, as the printing and design of the prints is complex. In this instance I took a phrase Aaron had said that resonated with me. I liked the idea that print has a tangible quality. We interact with it, we hold it, we display and read it. Perhaps we even simply discard it.
The resulting The Plastikcomb interview poster was printed, distressed, scanned and then reproduced at ‘wall’ scale, before being photographed and screen-printed. This process is in itself part of that tangible quality. To produce the artwork takes time, in this case several weeks. Something I like about that process though is that you get to ‘live’ with the sentence for a long time. If after a few weeks the sentence still makes sense, then it is probably right.’ – Gavin Ambrose, Founder Unseen Sketchbooks.

Unseen Sketchbooks and Plastikcomb have been collaborating on projects for a number of years and are UK stockists for the art and design magazine. As a result of this collaboration a series of projects are planned for the coming months. Importantly, Plastikcomb is exploring the art and design scene, commissioning designers and artists with freedom in the work they produce. There has been real resurgence in interest in the documentation of this style of design.

“I think it’s fantastic that two designers with no formal training are creating a magazine. If you go back in design history, you’ll see that your results are quite similar to what David Carson achieved in the eighties and nineties with Beach Culture and Raygun. As the eighties are being mined for a comeback in fashion and music, maybe we are ripe for this happening in graphics as well.” – Stefan Sagmeister
