Very nice hand-drawn typography work by Jon Contino based on the lyrics from a classic sea shanty “Blood Red Roses”: “My clothes are all in pawn Go down you blood red roses, go down And it’s mighty draughty around Cape Horn Go down you blood red roses, go down Oh, you pinks and posies Go down you blood red roses, go down It’s round Cape Horn we’ve got to go Chasing whales through ice and snow Oh my old mother she wrote to me My darling son come home from sea Oh it’s one more pull and that will do For we’re the bullies to kick her through”

Very nice hand-drawn typography work by Jon Contino based on the lyrics from a classic sea shanty “Blood Red Roses”:

“My clothes are all in pawn

Go down you blood red roses, go down

And it’s mighty draughty around Cape Horn

Go down you blood red roses, go down

Oh, you pinks and posies

Go down you blood red roses, go down

It’s round Cape Horn we’ve got to go

Chasing whales through ice and snow

Oh my old mother she wrote to me

My darling son come home from sea

Oh it’s one more pull and that will do

For we’re the bullies to kick her through”
