Ten Designers to Watch in 2022: Lynn M. Jones

Lynn M. Jones from Just My Type Letterpress is one of the Ten Designers to Watch in 2022. Read more about her in this Q&A.

Aesthetic of the Line?
Hand-carved linoleum block illustrations that are both bold and detailed, printed on vintage letterpress machinery.
Current Bestseller?
The Banana Slug vinyl sticker is the No. 1 best-seller in our retail store.

Personal Favorite?
It’s Complicated Platypus. A detailed block, my hand-lettering, and clever wording that can be used in many situations.

Surprise Hit?
Linocut Trees, boxed set of four. This set includes digital reproductions of four of my large linocuts in card form.

Iconic Selection?
Cat —Full Length. That’s my cat, Lucy. She’s perfect for linocut: black and white, and full of personality!

Favorite Color?
Charcoal grey. My husband rolls his eyes whenever I bring home another grey sweater. 🙂
Current Design Obsession?
Watching videos of master crafters do their thing, especially ceramicists, sign painters and calligraphers.
Favorite Flower?
The Cecile Brunner climbing rose. My grandmother had them all over her back fence: a wonderful scent, the palest pink and TONS of blooms.
Favorite Indulgence?
Ice cream!
