This broadside was a collaboration with Paul Durica. The text is a meditation on Leopold and Loeb, but also how the industry of mechanization can be turned to destructive ends.
The image is of the lagoon behind the Museum of Science and Industry where Leopold and Loeb's stolen typewriter was found; this definitively linked them to the murder of Bobby Franks. It was printed by offset lithography on a Heidelberg GTO using a custom three-color separation with orange, green, and black ink.
The typewriting was printing separately, and the negative for the offset plate was made by typing the text on carbon paper; there was no photographic intermediary.
This was done for the 2010 Printer's Ball and is part of a portfolio made by members of the Chicago Printers Guild.
