🪩 – Funk in print. A song line by Fred Wesley @funkyfredwesley became a poster. Together with my son @luc_4ly I set “Bop to the Boogie” as a funky wood type comp and printed it at my Letterpress Studio. A tribute to a musician whose groove has shaped the funk – and myself – for decades. Coverstory behind the poster: Link in bio. #fredwesley #letterpress #typography #funk #posterdesign analogprint coverstories
