Mini original art print by Seb Lester from a series of 'Tiny' die stamped prints. Illustrates the text: 'Mother F*cker' Die stamped prints feature a raised impression that stands out from the paper. 

According to Seb: 'Cursive' is inspired by the work of the greatest Penmen of the 18th century, many of whom worked in London in the streets surrounding St Paul's Cathedral. These penmen pushed formal scripts and flourishing techniques to new levels of beauty. I have never tired of the dissonance between the medium and the message in a work of this nature. 'Cursive' is for people who are fancy, but sweary, and ‘Gosh darn it’ doesn’t cut the mustard.
