Following a guest lecture event at the University of Pennsylvania, Carson visited the University’s letterpress department. The result was his Rules of Grafic Design series. Carson adds, “After lecture at uof p got to visit their letterpress department, a small basement room, and play a bit!...”

For many years, Carson kept these handpicked pieces sandwiched together in a thick, well-travelled portfolio case.  Some are gritty, smudged, ink-splattered, fingerprinted, layered, torn, double-sided studies reminiscent of his earlier years. Others are simple, clear and evocative. These pieces aren't pristine. They come with defects, blemishes, tears and rubbings. They’re unique, experimental, one-of-a-kind expressions of Carson in action. He signed these pieces in the summer of 2015.
