Douglas Wilson is a multi-disciplinary graphic designer based in Missouri, USA. His main passion is the medium of letterpress printing. He loves everything that is tactile, and finds inspiration everywhere. Douglas is also a lovely chap!
Here is some important info you should know about Douglas: he wishes had more bookselves. He wishes he traveled more internationally. He wishes he was better at playing the banjo.. we just wish he would keep on printing these great designs for us to display from floor to ceiling!
The onpaperwings Archives have been opened and a few stray prints have found the light of day! The prints marked with an 'Artist Proof' banner are artist's proofs and the last opportunity to purchase previously sold out prints by Doug Wilson.
Artist Proofs are prints that didn't quite make the cut to become part of the signed and numbered edition. Doug Wilson is very strict on the quality of his prints and any slight imperfections are rejected for the signed edition. Because of the nature of letterpress, there are always slight challenges that arise while printing and a few prints aren't quite perfect. Each AP has a slight imperfection - either a slightly bent corner, some stray ink, or a patchy impression - but many people think this adds to the "uniqueness" of the print! These prints are signed and instead of having a number of the edition and there is an "AP" in the corner.
