In one month I will be in San Francisco, hanging out with the fine people of Renegade again. This will be first time selling at this location off of the marina. Three years ago I attended this handmade shop fest, just a month after the guy and I started dating. [...]

Well over a year ago I picked up an issue of Revolv Magazine and was amazed how a free magazine had such great layout design and a high end feel while highlighting local art, fashion, music, and design. I hadn’t seen or heard of it since until a few months [...]

This print has taken, oh about, 5 years to complete. The concept first came to me while I lived in Australia in 2007 for a study abroad in screen printing. My parents and I relied on Skype for savings on long distance calling plus it gave me a way to [...]

Three weeks ago I received a painfully romantic gesture by the guy. He went into Cathedral Tattoo, where Jake Miller works and 3.5 hours later he walked out with a piece I drew almost a year ago, proudly titled Horny Utah Dudes, on his left thigh. It’s not the first [...]

For October’s A Dozen Posts Project I wanted to use the new (to me) lead type I got from Craig at Herald Printing when I bought Berger, a Heidelberg Windmill 10×15. I also wanted to convey my experience of being unexpectedly busy all the month of September, which I am [...]

This is very exciting for me. Vitamin Pictures, a creative design studio in Chicago, contacted me almost a month ago asking for Mike’s 5 Point Elk and 6 Point Elk – but where’s the big guy? Truth be told I just didn’t know how to ship such an oversized piece [...]

Guys. Something big happened. Literally. If you don’t believe in serendipity, check this: one day a friend from Logan (where I got my BFA in printmaking and graphic design) mentioned there is some letterpress stuff I may be interested in. Two weeks later I got notified that one of the [...]

TOMATOES.

The guy and I attempted our first garden this year with success here and there. Did we get cucumbers? No. Did we see any eggplants? No. Were we confused on what to do? Yes. But did we grow some tomatoes? Yes. And one, I repeat one, strawberry. Knowing that my [...]

This is quite the delay in sharing this month’s A Dozen Post’s Postcard. However, I am kind of liking the tardiness and the idea of letting the subscribers enjoy a longer time with their card for no one else to see but them. I feel as though it makes it [...]

10TH ANNUAL RENEGADE CHICAGO.

September 27, 2012 5:10 pm / Art, Friends, Printmaking / no comments

This month has been the most amazing, most fun, most busy, and most memorable to date. I have lacked on keeping all the craziness updated so I am going to start with this post highlighting mine and Andy‘s trip to Renegade Craft Fair Chicago, earlier this month. These are our [...]
