The final version of this was based on a somewhat larger photocopy that I re-coloured. As you can see, I've gone to more trouble over the work, shading it more carefully, filling the back background, and changing the floating globs of coloured ink. I suspect that a lot of viewers have no idea what this art is about, because they don't recognize a mimeograph duplicating machine. They were hand-cranked, reproduced the pages from typed, wax stencils, and could produce very attractive results if you learned the art well. It was time intensive, to be sure, but also quite cheap. Back in the 70s and 80s, mimeo was still cheaper and actually superior to the primitive Xerox copiers at the time. The ink came in metal tubes, rather like toothpaste.
