Recently I took up a challenge to make a 1×1 mini linocut block every Monday. What I hope to get from this challenge is to make more things just for fun and to put less focus on perfection. Having a designated day just for mini stamps will help me stay consistent without putting too much […]

Growth
As an artist and small business owner it’s important to be open to change and growth. Over the course of three years of artist markets I’ve made adaptations to what my displays look like and the type of product I sell.

Inventory Refresh
Too much time goes between each blog post, but I find that I am far more active on Instagram. As with most social media it’s right there all the time and more easier to post and know that *someone* saw my post. But here is an update on what I have been working on. Since […]

Sea Lion Linocut
Watching sea lions flip and swim around each other showing off their aquatic acrobatics to visitors at the Buffalo Zoo is the source of my inspiration for this piece. It started with a late night (quick) line drawing of a couple sea lions and ended up becoming a lino cut printed with a distressed effect […]

It is a work in progress, and the next step is to test print and make corrections as needed. But I seem to have a growing […]
