A map of the Lone Star State, complete with every long stretch of highway and oasis-like town. I collaborated with Texas-born Coleman Davis on this one. ABOUT THE IDEAInformation i s 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.

We recommend using your local framer. Alternatively, frameusa.com has standard sized frames with many options. Copyright 2018 Archie's Press Show more
