Printmaking

Below are some of the art prints I've made over the years! I mostly do linoleum block printing especially now that I'm printing at home without a studio, but I also enjoy screenprinting and hope to eventually have a set-up to do that at home as well.

Right now I don't have prints posted for sale, although I hope to in the future — I need to make sure I have the means to package and mail them before I put them up for general sale. In the meantime, you can check out some of my work here.

Externalize #1

This is my most recent and most personal of the prints on this page. Since it's the most personal, it's a little hard to say too much about it; on the one hand it is too close to my heart (ha!) and on the other I think art should stand for itself, without too much input from the creator. For now, at least, I'll let it stand on its own.

I decided to make two versions of this print, both in limited editions. First is the main print, of which there are 25, which is printed on Japanese Shoji Paper (6x9"). The second is a small run of 10 postcards (4x6").

Catacombs Skeleton Bookmark

I had some scrap linoleum left over from some other projects that were perfectly vertical for bookmarks, and this is the first one I made! Right now these are printed on some heavy cardstock, but I've been thinking about how to make them more durable as bookmarks—right now I worry about the ink smudging onto the book page, and the texture is rough under the fingers. I have been considering a matte cold laminate, like you'd use for at-home stickers.

Thank You Bear Postcard

I made this print because I wanted to design my own thank you cards and I really love bears! In theory this is an unlimited edition but to tell the truth I'm not sure where the block ended up after I moved… In any case, I'd like to make a few different thank you and other greeting cards that I can rotate through! They're standard 4x6" postcards.

Mother Earth Rising

Mother Earth Rising is a 5-color reduction linoleum block print created in 2017. The design was inspired by art nouveau pieces especially work by Alphonse Mucha, and also inspired by Solarpunk imagery (which I was really into at the time). These are 7x11" prints on 11x15" paper, and are in a limited edition of 8.

Pollution (and its variants)

This is actually completely unlike any other print I've made because it was created with intaglio (etching) for my printmaking class in college. And it will remain unlike any of my other prints because I think intaglio was a nightmare! It was so tedious to me and I certainly wouldn't be able to manage it outside of a studio.

That being said, I do really still like the meaning behind the piece and all the variations I made. There ended up being three additional variations created with different ink colors and chine colle. This was made during the year and a half that Scott Pruitt was head of the EPA and the second variation reflects that time period.

Pollution and its variants are all 12x9" prints on 15x12" paper. The original Pollution is a limited edition of 5 and all variants are unique prints (nowadays these would've been a varied edition, but what's done is done).

Main Print: Pollution (edition of 5)

Fuck Scott Pruitt (edition of 1)
What We Destroy (edition of 1)
