Prints featured in eat.shop Atlanta guide!

While browsing at my local bookstore, I happened upon a copy of "eat.shop atlanta", which is billed as "the indispensable guide to inspired, locally owned eating and shopping establishments". Looking through it I found a page for Young Blood Gallery, where I have some of my items in stock. Lo and behold in the listing was a picture of my motel print display and a mention in the "covet" section for things to buy. I don't know the authors of this book, but thanks a bunch!

Unfortunately, Young Blood Gallery is now in the process of moving to a large space, but in the meantime you can purchase the prints found in "eat.shop atlanta" at the Papa Studios Online Store.

Knitting Instead of Printing

Here's a picture of my latest project, my first ever scarf that actually turned out ok. I tried to knit about 10 years ago and it didn't turn out well so we won't count that one. I tried to get Dutch the Boston terrier to pose with the scarf on but that didn't work out so we compromised and he sat by the scarf. My friend Lynne helped me get started again, and after her great instruction I was off and running. I am addicted now...

New Block Print Journals

Here are some new block print journals I've been working on, soon to be in my Etsy Shop. The blocks were carved with soft rubber stamp material instead of the usual linoleum that I carve, because these journals are hardbound and won't fit through my press. I printed first in special white ink that will stick to the vinyl journal cover, then in silver over the white to create a layered look.

These are hard-bound journals similar to Moleskines in that they have an elastic closure, and a convenient pocket on the inside. I'll be posting them to Etsy soon!

Broadside Featured as Related Item on Etsy Storque Valentine's Article

I was selected as a Related Item on the Etsy Storque article "Etsy Finds: Will You Be My Valentine?"

It's always appreciated when someone links to your work! If you are interested, check out my "A Good Man is Hard to Find" Letterpress Broadside.

Hilltop Motel Print

Here is the finished version of the Hilltop Motel print I was working on in another post. I now have three two color motel prints in this series, and I may do one more, although I have exhausted my primary colors. I will be putting this up soon in my Etsy shop.

New Broadside

A new broadside I finished last week. I finally got to use my wood type in a broadside after getting my dad to cut me some spaces to use with them! I thought this saying / Flannery O'Connor short story title would make a good anti-Valentine's day gift for someone out of the Valentine's mood. Available now in my Etsy shop.

Periodic Table Printmaking Project In The News

I'm a little late in posting this, but I need to mention that this wonderful project I was a part of was mentioned in Etsy! The Periodic Table Printmaking Project has been featured in the Etsy Storque (I was Cadmium.)
