YASLY DAWN OF MAN - SECOND BREATH

Are you kidding me? Lazer etched, aged leather “print.” What a lovely process! I’d mention that I don’t agree with the use of the hide of an animal for a bit of design/artwork, but I just ate some steak tacos, and my blood is too thick for Florida, where these are from. Another neat thing about this print is that it’s designed by a design collective: YASLY, which is comprised of musicians, leather craftsman, letterpress artisans, house wives and carpenters. Heck yah! I’m a carpenter too, nice to meet you!

Note: Because the leather is reclaimed and hand aged, there are imperfections and marks in the leather.

This is part of the aesthetic.

Reclaimed means it was already chopped off the cow when they got to it. So, no worries, right? This print is part of the group’s brand new series “Dawn of Man” which contains similar artworks and designworks and a book.

Peek them out, but first, peek this 18″ x 24″ work out in the gallery below. It goes by the title “Second Breath” and I hear it’s very, very nice.

This post is claimed by the World Famous Design Junkies Outer Space category because it’s WILD, WILD I tell you. And even cows will one day be allowed in space,

mark my words.

    All leather is chopped off the cow when you get it. Otherwise, you’d be getting a cow.

    Are you saying that when I eat a steak burrito that there’s no leather in it?

    Am quite enamored of this idea. What lovely surface texture these pieces would have.

    the correct word is laser, with an “S”, and as c-dub said regarding the reclaimed part.

    however, well done on posting an image on your website – looks pretty cool.
