Gallery ‘goose
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Tacoma Wayzgoose! The festival isn’t until the end of April, but we’re celebrating early with an exhibit of all the giant steamroller prints created over the years at the Pacific Lutheran University Gallery. It’s going to be a doozy! And I’m honored to see that the artwork…

Jessica’s studio is hopping lately. She and I are working on the next Dead Feminist broadside, and our friend R.J. joined us on the adjacent press. There’s just something so satisfying about a room filled with the sound of Vandercook motors humming…

Finishing touches
Every year for Thanksgiving, I like to whip up place cards for our guests. Often this happens about 5 minutes before they show up at our door… or sometimes after, while I hide away in a back room and the Tailor distracts entertains them. But let the record show that I’m early this year! For…

Experimenting
I’m not entirely sure where this is going yet, but I’m trying something new today. Either I’ll end up with a couple of new pieces for the portfolio—or some pretty additions to the recycling bin. We’ll see…….
