These aspirational posters were made by printing antique gothic wood type in black over a DayGlo light blue fluorescent circle. It features a line from a D.H. Lawrence letter: "Fly Little Boat."

A testament to flights of fancy, D.H. Lawrence’s final book, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, was banned in countries throughout the world for decades. He was unable to find a publisher for the “scandalous” content, so took the manuscript to Italy where it was printed and published by Tipografia Giuntina in Florence, with assistance from Pino Orioli. In August of 1928, Lawrence wrote his literary agent about the novel and publishers’ hesitations: “I perfectly understand that C.B. and Rich are against her, thinking she will do me harm, and probably disliking her anyhow. But I stand by her: and am perfectly content she should do me harm with such people as take offence at her. I am out against such people. Fly little boat!” To all of you who have had a crazy idea, and to everyone, everywhere, that makes it to a place where they don’t care what others think, or they resolve to achieve something seemingly unachieveable, keep this in mind. Keep it in mind when you put that project out into the world: “Fly little boat.”
