The Swallowtale Project Lexington poet Bianca...

Us...

Brian and Sara Turner have been making posters for nearly a decade. In 2003, they started Cricket Press from a tiny studio in their home of Lexington, KY. Since then, they have created gig posters for hundreds of bands ranging from indie-rock to free-jazz, bluegrass to punk; as well as promotional work for events both local and national.

Together they have created their own unique and quirky vision of the world, translating their characteristic illustrations through the hand-printed processes of letterpress and screen-printing. When they’re not ruining their clothes slinging ink on posters, Cricket Press also spends a good deal of time on numerous design and illustration projects, as well as making various hand-printed goods and ephemera.

The Swallowtale Project

Lexington poet Bianca Spriggs, in partnership with the Kentucky Domestic Violence Association, created “The Swallowtale Project” a creative writing workshop dedicated to the women inmates at the KY Federal Prison Camp.

I am very proud to have been commissioned to illustrate the cover. We just received our copy of the book and it’s not only printed beautifully but is a very powerful collection of work.
