Boombox 2025 XL Hand pulled Screenprint

Six layers of ink pulled through mesh by hand. No machines. No shortcuts. Just the resistance of the squeegee against the screen and the bite of fluorescent colours hitting recycled paper.

This boombox isn't nostalgic decoration. It's about when music was physical. When you carried sound on your shoulder down the high street and everyone knew what you were listening to. Before earbuds turned music private. Before streaming made everything weightless.

The fluorescents punch through daylight the way those massive speakers cut through street noise in the eighties. Pink that screams. Yellow that won't be ignored. Each layer locked into position by hand, building up the image one pull at a time. The recycled paper gives it tooth — holds the ink differently than virgin stock. You can feel the texture when you run your finger across it.

Six screens. Fifty prints. Each one slightly different because that's how hand-pulling works. The pressure changes. The ink builds up. Your arm gets tired. The last print in the edition never looks exactly like the first, and that's the point.

This is A1. Big enough to fill a wall properly. Small enough to actually fit through your front door. Loop Birch recycled paper because new trees shouldn't die for old memories. 350gsm because anything lighter wouldn't hold six layers without warping.

No frame. Ships in a tube wrapped in acid-free tissue. The kind of packaging that won't yellow your print over decades. Frame it yourself or pin it straight to the wall — both work.

For people who remember when music took up space. When choosing what to listen to meant something because you could only carry so many tapes. When sound had weight.
