Giorno’s earliest prints were created between 1968 and 1974. These works include texts with political and sexual content that the artist found in newspapers, magazine articles, and personal ads. Some also make use of consumer materials, such as gift wrap and DayGlo paint. 

Some of the prints were self-produced, and others were created in collaboration with publishers such as Something Else Press and Domberger Editions. Each print was produced in an edition of varying sizes.
