A flat-out smashing time

Inked up,

hand-pulled,

and voilà! Our second collaborative steamroller print, an unofficial Dead Feminist, inspired by Cora Smith Eaton King, who in 1909 climbed Mt. Rainier with a party of Seattle Mountaineers and placed a “Votes for Women” banner at the summit.

This year’s Wayzgoose was the biggest bash yet! We had all the regulars—

who churned out perfection under pressure (no pun intended)—

our beloved ringleader,

a certain befezzed flavor,

and a whole host of newcomers to round out the experience.

We had an enormous crowd (thank goodness for the good weather!),

and even a few unexpected audience members.

This year I got to try my hand at driving the steamroller,

but I think pretending was plenty enough for this little guy.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by to say hello, or stuck around to lend a helping hand.

And of course, a huge bucket of gratitude to the Tacoma Arts Commission for making it all happen!

One more acknowledgement: photography by Michael O’Leary. Thanks, Dad!
