Item Description
Ryan Vicente :: Fog City
Large-scale 4' x 4' Linocut Print (3' x 3' image), #5 of 7
Printed by steamroller on Rhode Island Street in September, 2015
With its cable car, Victorian houses, and overhead electrical wires, Fog City by local artist Ryan Vicente, is a visual ode to The City By The Bay that we love. Ryan has also hidden some San Francisco Center for the Book references in plain sight!
The San Francisco Center for the Book’s Annual Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival is a day-long public printmaking and book arts extravaganza that includes free hands-on printmaking and book arts activities, demonstrations, arts and crafts vendors, art gallery and studio tours, and more.
During the Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival we celebrate this interesting fact of book arts history in the biggest, over-the-top, spectacular way we can think of, by printing linocuts using a 7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller -- provided by Roots of Motive Power - combined with the road surface of Rhode Island Street as an enormous makeshift printing press. In this way a team of featured artists, printers and steamroller operators create large-scale Featured Artist prints during the Festival.
