The Final Countdown – Don’t Miss This Typewriter Limited Edition Drop

Last Chance: Bryant Park Prints – 60% Sold, 3 Days Left

With just three days remaining, the Bryant Park limited edition print is approaching its final call. Over 60% of the edition has now sold, and the drop will officially close this Wednesday, April 16th at 1:00 PM GMT.

Thank you so much to everyone who has already purchased a print; it means more than I can say. This piece has been a special one for me to create, capturing the calm of Manhattan’s Bryant Park with vintage typewriters and over 200,000 keystrokes.

Once the drop ends, the print will not be re-released. Should any remain unsold, it is my policy that they will not become available again for at least 12 months meaning this edition won't return until April 2026 at the earliest.

To explore the finer details of this piece, head over to my latest Instagram post where I’ve highlighted some of the hidden elements and intricacies woven into the artwork.

A First Glimpse at Authors in Type

Beyond the print drop, I’m excited to share a major milestone in my artistic journey…I'm currently working on my first book!

For years, people have asked whether I’d ever publish a collection of my work in book form, and I’m thrilled to say it’s finally happening. Titled Authors in Type, this project has been two years in the making so far and is set to be published with Barnes & Noble, with a worldwide release. This means it will be available in bookstores across the globe. That in itself is a surreal and exciting moment!

The book celebrates both historic and contemporary authors through typewritten portraits I’ve created on my vintage machines. But it’s more than just likenesses, each drawing is embedded with hidden messages, typed in micro-detail, exploring the author’s life, themes, and struggles.

A sneaky first peek! H.G. Wells

Just to name a few examples, you might spot hidden messages related to H.G. Wells’ obsession with time and scientific possibility, Charlotte Lennox’s cross-Atlantic satire, or Marcel Proust’s deeply personal reflections on memory and identity. These subtle details are meant to intrigue and invite readers to discover something new about each writer, whether it's their private hardships, advocacy for human rights, or the worlds they helped shape through literature.

Although the book won’t be released until next year, I’ve been quietly building an archive of these portraits. I offered a first selection of originals for sale in 2023, and I’ll be making more of them available soon.

What’s Next

There’s plenty more on the horizon. In May, I’ll be working with the Bodleian Library in Oxford, where I’ve been granted special access to type on location at the Radcliffe Camera building. It’s a true honour to bring this iconic building to life through type. I cannot wait to take a typewriter, fold-out chair and a friend or two to help with filming. We also hope for good weather!

And if you’re tuning into the live broadcast of Coachella this year, you might spot a familiar addition to the line-up.... A couple of years ago, I was commissioned to create artwork for the festival. One piece of Burna Boy was even reposted by the man himself.

You can read about this work here. This year, the team has invited me back for another collaboration, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where that leads. I cannot say anymore than that, but once the video goes live, I will share it with you.

Before It’s Gone…

If you’ve been thinking about adding Manhattan, Bryant Park to your collection, now’s the time to make it yours. Once the clock strikes 1:00 PM GMT on Wednesday, the window closes and with it, the chance to own this edition for at least another year.

Thank you again for being part of this journey with me.
