Masters of the Press
Paul Guest also known as Monkey was a founding father of contemporary blotter art and the undisputed master of the craft. His reputation for perfectionism was legendary and his dedication to the work is the reason the worlds major artists trusted him with their visions. Paul was a beautiful mind and a true altruist who mentored collectors and artists alike while building a global legacy through the original Heidelberg press.
My partnership with Paul began in 2015 and continued until his passing in 2021. Today that torch is carried by his close ally Lucifer who has been a pillar of the blotter scene since the early 2000s. After helping Paul ship the production equipment from the US to the UK piece by piece Lucifer now maintains the tradition of excellence.
Every sheet is a product of history and high caliber craftsmanship. Production continues on that original Heidelberg press along with a fleet of auto platens and a KS cylinder press dedicated to lithograph printing. We utilize plant based Dutch bio Inks on chemical free paper and card stock to ensure every piece is a museum quality artifact that honors the history of the medium.
