One of the chief attractions of working in print is the ability to reprint old images in new combinations. The letter forms seen here are from some old commercial stones that were used to print decals. Sitting dormant for over 60 years, they were refreshed and reprinted along with background textures from other plates and stones and printed over other proofs that were underprinted or otherwise unusuable in their own right. The print on the upper left has a red run from the print White Rock.

Groups of students were invited to work with the artist in the creation of these prints. With up to 20 people printing simultaneously, the shop became very chaotic and lively, hence the term "litho mania".
