Two woodblocks, one carved with a pink ladyslipper orchid and one with the image transferred to it
Working on some new flowers for spring (as I sniffle my way through pollen season.) I've carved the key block for this Ladyslipper and transferred the image to the second block for pink. #woodcut #letterpress
Have you seen the underside of a magnolia leaf? It’s a velvety tobacco-colored suede. It’s just as gorgeous as the leafy greens and magnificent blooms. I try to hit that color mark every time I press our time-honored Magnolia design.

a black and white linocut print of a two headed calf amongst the stars. a poem below them reads “tomorrow, when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum. but tonight, he is in the north field with his mother. and there were twice as many stars as usual.”

One of the best things about teaching undergrads is when they teach you. Here’s my progress through #HuronUniversity’s #linocut workshop, run by our #Letterpress Assistants.

Poster printed from Wood type that says “His head was so shiny I had to draw him” Text is printed in dark blue. The word shiny is in fluorescent pink. There is an ornament above and below the text, which is centered.
I was teaching a workshop at the Printing Museum at the time, and her explanation of the drawing prompted me to make this woodtype poster.
So if you are a bald man with tiny glasses that was walking around LA yesterday, you may have inspired two pieces of art 🤣 #letterpress
A letterpress sign stating, Do not harass the muskrats.
Morning printing project, another addition to my ‘signs’ series. Printed on Yupo, so they could go outside. Luckily, the folk who come over aren’t the muskrat-harassing type 💕
