About Harrisson:
A product of the counter-cultures of sound and image, from a time when the digitalo-artistic graphic designer was not yet the proletarian of the future, graphic designer and typographer Harrisson is the sum total of over 20 years of visual experiments designed to give meaning to the world and to lives. An idealist who primarily fights the dark orders and lights of domination through images, his practice essentially seeks fulfillment through the magical play of signs and their teaching. He's an excellent channeler of ideas into images, a bodybuilder of the Swiss-style magnetic typographic grid, a long-distance poster runner and an obsessive illustration producer, as if his life depended on it.
