This print features a french police man, drawn in Spencer Wilson's inimitable style, with a whistle, a hat and a moustache, holding his hand up in a stop gesture. All while stood on the dot of an exclamation mark. What a genius print! Printed in two colours, red and black, and printed using two letterpress metal printing plates with oil based relief ink onto soft Somerset Satin printmaking paper. 

Spencer is a London based illustrator and co-founder of the illustration, design and animation company Peepshow Collective Ltd. He has been working to commission since 1998 in a world of neat piles of mess, coffee cups and ordered chaos. His work follows this theme with the creation of sketchy ideas and twisted thoughts, carried through into clean vectored, balanced images placed in dynamic flat colour compositions with the occasional introduction of texture.
