The Human Printer is a group that prints CMYK dot pattern photos by hand. Using markers they replicate the halftone effect of traditional CMYK printing.

  • Whoa. Ridiculous.

    Cool, but why the moire pattern? Printers took pains to avoid them back in the day.
  • Why, why, why?
  • That's bizarre. I hope they're having fun doing it.

    On a somewhat unrelated note: why is the person gripping the marker like that in the second photo? To the point where their finger is painfully bending backwards and turning red around the nail bed? Intense concentration? Crippling carpal tunnel?

    Interesting stuff, but something I would never partake in.

    I think it's really neat. The effect is disorienting.
  • when you love something enough, it drives you to no limits. i say good for these guys. i think it's a great process.
