Cameron Moll Colosseo iPad Martian Giveaway
Cameron Moll Colosseo ipad Martian Giveaway
Hello,
My name is Shelby Christiansen and this is an entry in the Cameron Moll Colosseo Ipad Martian Giveaway.
My girlfriend, Ella, first turned me onto the contest and Cameron Moll's artwork. Cameron has created a true masterpiece with the "Colosseo" and it's been really fun learning about it.
What really set's this letterpress poster apart is the fact that it took over 250 hours throughout 12 months. I think that's an outstanding feat.

Cameron Moll's Colosseo Video Summarized
Introducing an original letterpress piece by Cameron Moll titled "Colosseo"
Colosseo began as an artistic endeavor to re-imagine the Coliseum in type.
It all started in 2009 when Cameron took his loving wife to Rome to celebrate their 10th year anniversary. Cameron, having already completed several notable letterpress pieces including the Salt Lake Temple which took over 100 hours to craft, cast his artistic eye even farther back through time setting his sights on the Roman Colise.
The Roman Coliseum was originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater and is generally regarded as one of the greatest works in Roman Architecture and Engineering, and so it is with Cameron's piece.
Crafted with the same painstaking care as the original the Colosseo took shape character by character over the next 12 months. Costing Cameron a total of 250 hours of work from start to finish.
The main body of the work is formed by the classic Goudy Pro and Bembo Pro typefaces as well as recreated glyphs from master Italian calligrapher M. Giovambattista Palatino's work, which was published in Rome around 1550 A.D. All of the type faces used are inherently Italian, either created or inspired, lending to the overall effect of the Colosseo.
All letterpresses posters are printed by Bryce Knudson of Bjorn Press with the same love that Cameron put into the original piece. Each one is printed on either on Somerset Velvet Black or Crane Lettra Pearl.
