Current Lead Graffiti news
DCAD Retrospective Exhibition
Lead Graffiti is currently in the second month of a major RETROSPECTIVE EXHIBITION at the DELAWARE COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN and will run through Friday, February 7.
The exhibition includes about 125 pieces of work covering 17 years of “printing slowly and patiently via letterpress,” starting in 2002 with Raven Press at the University of Delaware in 2002 through 2019. The work includes our favorite posters from our widely known Tour de Lead Graffiti from each stage of the Tour de France from 2011 to 2015, and includes books, wedding invitations, certificates, cards, results of workshops, and beyond.
Lead Graffiti YouTube channel
We are pretty late coming to YouTube, but maybe later than never. Ray taught a video editing class for more than a decade and loved it. We often would see good movies twice in the theater; once for the movie and once for the editing.
So, we are trying to put movement and sound to a few of our experiences. As we write this we are up to 14 YouTube videos with 125+ subscribers, 4,000+ views and 270 hours of viewing time, some short and sweet about favorite objects in our collection, and longer ones about major projects and informative ones about specific processes we use. CHECK OUT A FEW OF THEM.
