Christopher Goggs, who goes by the handle ChrisPrintedThis, is a graphic designer and printmaker currently based in South Yorkshire. He works on a variety of projects, from digitally printed zines, photography, and pamphlets, to lino, Risograph, and silkscreen prints. He studied Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam University, and is currently studying his MA in Graphic Design and Art Direction at Manchester Met.
As an undergrad Chris was fascinated by different analogue printing processes, and has gone on to explore this further in his work as a postgrad. Currently, he is working on setting up a home screen print studio along with working on the fourth edition of his zine LOOKSEE which is centred around ‘Creative Voyeurism’ (the act of looking or being looked at in the name of art).
The zine aims to collect and discuss various artistic and voyeuristic topics, all based on a different quote from Susan Sontag’s book On Photography in every issue. In addition, the zine also collates the print, illustration, and other design projects that Chris has been working.
When he isn’t working on zines or in the studio, Chris enjoys exploring DIY ways of creating print work at home, or without the use of professional kit. His latest endeavour uses hydroponic grow lights, putty erasers, and an Ikea chair, which are currently working hard to help expose and print his designs as silkscreens.
