Description
Originally this was part of ‘Do Y’all Say Y’all Where You Come From?’ a series of 16 posters featuring quotes collected whilst in the US, highlighting differences and similarities in our cultures through language. I have had an interest in American roots influenced music from the early 20th C. to the mid 1960’s for a number of years now, along with letterpress printing and the development of early poster graphics. In September, 2004, I visited Nashville to carry out an internship at Hatch Showprint and took this opportunity to find out more about the origins of the music I love, which largely originated in Tennessee. ‘Stand By Your Mando’ was printed during this time, I am a keen mandolin player and carved the linocut in my hotel room during the evenings. It was a portrait of the instrument which accompanied me on my trip. Hatch Showprint still use this block regularly on their posters.
