About

Hello Good People!

I came up in Mill Valley CA, a redwood and fern environment just north of San Francisco, just past Sausalito.  It was a great place to start.  Eventually I needed to try something different so I moved to New York (West Village, East Village & Bushwick) and then I was drawn to Montréal (Plateau, Mile End).  After this 7 year sojourn on the East Coast, I missed the west somehow and I moved back, this time to Portland, Oregon where I live to this day.

ABOUT THE WOODCUT PROCESS
There's nothing like that first moment of rolling the ink on the block.   You may THINK you know how it's going to turn out, but there's always some surprise! Each block is hand-drawn, and then hand-carved.   A different block for each color, properly lined up, creates the color images as they are inked up and run through the etching press! 

CARVING:
PRINTING (this makes it look quick and easy, but there are always problems to solve!)
CURRENT NEWS FROM THE STUDIO
The best way to see what I'm up to these days is to FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM for the latest from the studio.
I ship worldwide, via USPS, satisfaction guaranteed. Seriously. I'll even pay return shipping, though this hasn't (knock wood) happened yet.
