It’s mine! No, it’s yours! More on this soon…
Sarah Maxey is a graphic artist, a typographic illustrator, a book designer, a New Zealander, an open book, a slow burner, a dark horse, a beady eye, a wallflower. She is all ears.

The Arts Foundation of New Zealand The Arts Foundation established a new award this year in association with Ann Mallinson of Mallinson Rendel Publishers, to honour a children’s book illustrator. The inaugural award went to the very clever David Elliot. The Arts Foundation commissioned me to design the award, which was again beautifully letterpress printed by Shona Gow of Magpie Press.
Ho ho ho A range of typographic greetings cards drawn for the stationery arm of the very excellent Gecko Press, curiously good books published by my good friend Julia Marshall. Buy them at Vessel, or contact Gecko & Co. My stationery arm hurts.
Once more down to the beach… The Designers Institute of New Zealand commissioned this piece of work to be used as a pull-out poster in ProDesign magazine, heralding the impending summer holidays. I can’t remember who first used this joke in my earshot, but it was probably my uncle, who is an English teacher & who also said to me one Easter: ‘Shall I compare thee to a currant bun?’
‘I did this instead of going out’ A1 poster, screenprinted in dark blue on 170gsm Munken Polar White, in a limited edition of 500, signed & numbered. Buy here.
