We've commissioned renowned letterpress printer Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. to create a piece for us inspired by voting for climate candidates. Amos has stacked a text layer cake consisting of the title of Rachel Carson's seminal book Silent Spring, the words "Save The Environment", the names of our past charity partners, quotes from Chief Seattle and Lao Tzu, and topped it all off with a Rachel Carson quote. In person the colors which range from pinks to blues to greens to yellows to shimmering silvers are deeply rich. And literally no two are the same. Each one is a unique, type-driven artwork. The quotes in some copies are clearly readable, in others they coalesce into a chocka-block modern design.

Amos’s life itself is an inspiration. He quit working as an AT&T systems analyst in his 40s to become a printmaker. Using hand-set wood and metal type, Amos builds up layers of text on a Heidelberg letterpress to create artworks that he describes as "bad printing". The end result is a totally unique hybrid of political graphics and abstract expressionism.

All proceeds and any donations above the minimum made for one of Amos's prints will go to The Environmental Voter Project. They're a non-partisan non-profit with a unique approach. Rather than convincing people to care about climate change, it identifies people who already do, but don't consistently vote, and works to get them to the polls. Long-term. Evidence based. This is the kind of work that can really move the needle.
