Tapered square cup painted in black and seafoam greens. A 10-pointed star is in the center on each face of the cup. In this shot there is a paintbrush, x-acto knife, and micron pen in the cup to demonstrate its use.

Over the weekend I busted out the acrylics and gave this little old toothbrush holder some new life. I’m SO stoked with how it turned out.

#tinyprinttuesday!

A very small 2-layer linoleum block print on lavender paper depicting a green junimo from the game Stardew Valley holding up a stardrop. The print is placed on top of some thin green leaves.

I’d like to get back to regularly doing #tinyprinttuesday again so I’m jumping in with this junimo!

An arrangement of four bookmarks of the same design in different colors. The central text reads “When in doubt, Make” and can be read with the bookmark turned in any direction. Smaller text creates an outer border with examples of things you can “make” such as art, noise, a meal, and community.

Bookmarks for the current times (and all times, really).

When in doubt, MAKE.
Make memories.
Make art.
Make good trouble.

Three blockprints of flowers on a wood table. A tulip, a sunflower, and lilacs.

Here in Michigan, we’re being treated to lovely temps and sun today. Cheers to the first day of Spring!

Carved a little something for my love…our weekend ritual of coffee together in matching vintage duck mugs 🦆

A blockprint in black ink of two crows enjoying whole peanuts

Happy #NationalBirdDay!

My neighborhood crows haven’t stopped by today (might have something to do with the red shouldered hawk that’s hanging around!) but here’s a print of them from last spring.

Happy New Year!

This Saturday’s #BlueSkyArtShow
theme is #Holiday so I’m sharing my card design from last year

Baking cookies with my mom was a favorite holiday tradition growing up

Block printed holiday card featuring a green crocheted scarf styled to look like a pine tree with text that says “Warm Wishes”.

Warm wishes and happy holidays!

After thoroughly dragging my feet, this year’s holiday card is finally underway

Black and white linoleum block print of a Magic the Gathering storm token card. The rain from the clouds forms the word “storm” in the negative space

I recently made this custom #MTG storm token as gift. At only 3.5” tall, the detailed line work was tricky but I’m really happy with the end result! I think I’d like to do more with this vibe.

There’s nothing quite like yard work to make me feel like I’m 85.

Two tiny block prints on top of a cork coaster. The prints are of a skeleton lego mini fig and a skull.

I’m a day late for #tinyprinttuesday, but I wanted to share a couple of past entries. The lego skelly is just a smidge larger than actual size. 💀

Thank you! :)

Two prints of a haunted house in black ink on two kinds of orange paper

This was inspired by an eerie house I used to walk by in college that gave off “definitely occupied by at least one ghost” vibes

A gouge and carved linoleum block featuring a haunted house sitting at an angle on a black gridded cutting mat

My hopes and dreams for September (cooler weather, soup season, etc.) did not come to fruition but I did finish carving my haunted house! I’ve got some new orange mulberry paper that I’m excited to be printing on soon.

A partially carved haunted house on a linoleum block with gouges in the background

September brings cooler temps, the return of soup season, and my favorite subject matter for print: all things spooky!

Happy Birthday!

1000%

Love this! I need to get back into doing TPT again, especially with Print Prompt Mondays on hiatus

Thank you!!

A linocut print of a melting red white and blue bomb pop with the red liquid spelling the word “fuck”

Lots of feelings today and most days. Anger, anxiety, and heartache. Not a lot to celebrate.

Ha! Ya know, if it were December, that actually would be helpful. Now? Not so much. It’s been 90+ here lately
