Precaución Bicicleta

Span­ish speak­ers in Los Ange­les ride bikes more than other groups, and also suf­fer dis­pro­por­tion­ately from traf­fic injuries.* To cre­ate safer streets for every­one, the Los Ange­les County Bicy­cle Coali­tionCity of Lights Pro­gram in part­ner­ship with the Los Ange­les Depart­ment of Trans­porta­tionBike­ways and sev­eral com­mu­nity groups cre­ated a pio­neer­ing bicy­cle safety pub­lic aware­ness cam­paign in Span­ish con­sist­ing of bus shel­ter posters and a video PSA. You can read about the unique grass­roots process at LACBC, and the cam­paign on Streets­blog. My art­work was selected to illus­trate the cam­paign slogan:

Bicycle Typogram — Mini Prints

Mini… mini… minia­ture… Let­ter­pressed minia­ture prints are type-high. The first spoils from a foray into the realm of pressed let­ters. Known in the art as broad­sides, these are a lit­tle less broad, so they are mini prints here, all crisply pressed with the best non-toxic rub­ber inks on Fab­ri­ano Medio­e­valis cards. Fab­ri­ano has been mak­ing paper like


Bicycle Typogram — T-Shirt 1

The T-Shirt. Now with a Bicy­cle Typogram printed upon it. Study those com­po­nents on the move.     For safety, the left shoul­der of this bright white shirt is embla­zoned with a 4″ diam­e­ter AARLINE logo capa­ble of reflect­ing up to 675 cd/lux/m2 of daz­zling white light, in com­pli­ance with ANSI Class 2 high-visability warn­ing cloth­ing stan­dards.

This edi­tion is


Bicycle Typogram — Printed

Print…print…print. The Bicy­cle Typogram (orig­i­nal graphic here) is printed. Card, flood, print, pull, dry. Each impres­sion rep­re­sents a unique moment in time. Reg­is­tra­tion E tabs, press micro-adjustments, stencil-restricted ink deposits, attempts to make each moment an exact replica — the tick tock of a per­fect clock. But per­fec­tion is not eas­ily repro­duced. {click image for
