Joe Galbreath

For his Master’s thesis, Joe Galbreath investigated the forms, artifacts and aesthetics of Globe Poster printing. For 9 months he spent time at the shop organizing and analyzing artifacts, takling with the owners and iinvestigating the visual language of this prolific Baltimore institution.
This specimen sheet series attempts to collect and organize Globes vast library of original graphics by documenting a singular exploration of form or content. Each specimen was printed using the original blocks found by scouring drawers,  boxe s, shelves, cabinets and cubby holes around  the shop.
