FUSTER CLUCK


In January 2018, The Big Nasty Press completed it's fifth portfolio, 'Fuster Cluck'.  Inspired by Lester Raymer, a love of chickens, recycled paper and relief printing, Fuster Cluck celebrates the block by casting the linoleum in recycled egg cartons. The title became a self fulfilling prophesy as we found ourselves thwarted at every turn with disasters big and small!

Our original box design made use of a modified egg carton.

The container awaits the second pour of a two part mold.

We broke down several dozen egg cartons for our pulp.

After the egg cartons were beaten to pulp, we dyed it various colors.

Molds packed with pulp.

With four days to our deadline, the first containers came out of their moulds.
Unfortunately after weeks of work, we were unable to use the resulting boxes!
This portfolio was living up to its name!

Always have a plan 'B'!

We finished our containers with hours to spare! Thanks Shorty!
