Ecstatic Alphabets Text

Some process pics of a recent installation of screen printed exhibition graphics at the MoMA in New York.  After all the printing is complete we go in with small brushes and touch-up any white dots from a rough wall surface. We must of had hundreds of people watching us print on this job.  The Acrylic letters where laser cut and adhered  to the wall.  We’ll be able to cut 3D text once the CNC router gets going.
