More than Words Limited Edition Marilyn Print

Posted on | Leave a comment

121_big1 
Images of Marilyn Monroe are so recognisable that they have gone beyond iconic and become rather clichéd. However, More than Words has given a new twist to the familiar by recreating the image using typography.

The limited edition Marilyn print is made up of one of her famous quotations, “"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I'm out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” The print is limited to 250 copies, but is available in a choice of sizes (30cm, 40cm or 70cm square). Prices start from £85 for the smallest framed print.

Boat-of-life 
The Boat of Life Print is another charming piece by Aardvark, this time taking a classic piece of literature as its starting point.

The words on the print come from Jerome K Jerome’s comic classic Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog), but even if you aren’t a fan of the book, you can appreciate the sentiments about enjoying the simple things in life or at least the wonderful use of typography. The print costs £20 unframed or £45 framed.
