The โA penguin specialโ part at the top looks terrible in my opinion. The font seems out of place, looks as if it was a afterthought. I agree with that. But it doesn't completely ruin the print, which looks pretty gorgeous on the whole. |

Looks fantastic in my view, great title, nice size, would look great framed up.
Was only wondering the other day if something new on its way from Mr Miller, any news of any exhibitions etc?

Not me riotcops, the ship has sailed as far as affording one, but do like this release, and agree with Lacey1234 its a great colourway.
Can remember standing outside was it Other Criteria when they had released 'Health & Safety', still available, and saying to my other half how much it was, and she thought I was bonkers liking it. Damn it.

Harland Miller Narcissist Seeks Similar Etching with relief printing Edition of 50 Sheet size 102.5 x 68.5 cm (40 3/8 x 27 in) Signed by the artist on the front, numbered on the reverse Published by Manifold Editions, 2021 Inquiries to: info@manifoldeditions.com 
Yawn, would have been excited 5 years ago. Itโs not good heโs moving in on the Connor Brothers territory.
I would respectfully disagree regarding who has legitimate claim to the territory of book-cover depictions.
One the one hand, we have a fine artist โ who is also a published author โ revisiting as well as expanding upon:
(i) the subject matter most relevant to him (books, book titles, book covers);
(ii) an aesthetic he actually pioneered; and
(iii) the pithy, mordant humour he happens to be best known for.
On the other hand, we have parasite chancers, whose output is almost exclusively based on ripping off the ideas and artwork of other people.
The โA penguin specialโ part at the top looks terrible in my opinion. The font seems out of place, looks as if it was a afterthought.
The โA penguin specialโ font is rough. Why Harland, whyyy??
This piece looks great to my eyes. And I consider the title quite brilliant.
No issue either with the typeface of the text, A Penguin Special.
In case any members are unaware, that typeface is the same as what Penguin used for some of its releases. See below for a couple of examples, from 1949 (left) and 1957 (right):

My opinion however it seems to be an option shared by pretty much everyone I show this to, so in that sense this will never be a classic Harland. No doubt it will still sellout way before we get a sniff but for me this is his weakest Penguin cover (feat the penguin) print to date.

All good and fine. And here we're just discussing differences in aesthetic preferences.
The main issue I tried to address earlier was the (possible) suggestion that Miller's choice of typeface was simply random โ rather than it having been a considered reference to Penguin's history.
