This is a Val-entine gift to all my faithful readers, guests and friends. If you have not heard of the wonderful artist William Crutchfield then shame on you but now you have so please enjoy this small and short film and you will always remember him. I was lucky enough to work with Mr. Crutchfield in 1989 when we printed this incredible puzzle to celebrate Gensler's 25 th Anniversary. Gensler is a global architecture firm that could afford to have William create the art and oversee this puzzle project and of course Jeff Wasserman of Wasserman Silk Screen Co. was able to capture the vision perfectly. This puzzle is printed on very thick acid free rag board and was cut after we did all the printing. There were a lot of colours involved and a varnish too. Quite a unique and beautiful job packaged in a nice wooden slide top box and we silkscreened Gensler on the lid in 2 colours as well. Of course I received one as a printers proof signed by this wonderful artist William Cruthchfield. You will see why I adore his work so much he creates a lot of little buildings ;)
