The Lazy Brown Trout
210x297mm (A4) Printed on 270gsm Recycled card stock - sold unframed
Edition of 60, signed and numbered in pencil.
A trout-geeks reworking of the infamous Lazy Brown Dog ‘Pangram’ (circa 1885).
In this case, the sage coloured Ferox replaces the brown fox and is described by some as a piscivorous type of lake living brown trout in the UK. Many scientists now accept it as a completely separate species of trout; Salmo ferox.
A pangram (Greek: παν γράμμα, pan gramma, "every letter") or holoalphabetic sentence is a sentence using every letter of a given alphabet at least once. Pangrams have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding.
Composed with a simple san-serif condensed woodtype face (Hamilton Woodtype USA), and a lovely Johnson type founders fish block (circa 1880-1910). The wood letter ‘U’ of trout has historic damage and by chance, once printed, worked perfectly with the word trout, giving it a scale pattern reminiscent of a fish.
Printed in collaboration with Farlows since 1840, Pall Mall London.

Once upon a time when I was younger than I am now - pre go-pro cameras, drones and instagram (circa 1999).
A lovely fishing video me and my brother Dan made one boxing day half an hour from home!
