Gemini! The Twins! I (Archie) am a Gemini and I think I have pretty much all the traits: Distractible, Social, Excitable...Maybe a little superficial? This map gives me lots of reasons to love myself, and excuses for why I might fall short. It also explains my relationships with the other signs, which I love to obsess over. A collaboration with Clare Kritter, herbalist and astrologer. ABOUT THE IDEAInformation is more fun to read when it's beautiful. I've designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. I edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous. ABOUT LETTERPRESS PRINTINGLetterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime.

There's a reason this craft endures and cannot be automated: It's skilled work that is best done face-to-face in physical space. See more framing ideas here. Copyright 2020 Archie's Press
