POOR.
Last night was a fun last minute event for me. A week before during Gallery Stroll, I met a boy named Isaac outside of Copper Palate Press where he was smoking. We were chatting it up and I learned his booth was near mine at Craft Lake City. When he [...]
LORDY.
Andy and I finished up our first collaboration last night at Leia Bell‘s [old] studio. It’s always nice to print with a friend, especially one that you find yourself constantly laughing with. And it’s good to learn how other people print and learn from it. We hope it’s not the [...]
AMOS 2.
On the second day printing with Amos Kennedy, we hopped right into getting our second posters ready to print. Normally workshops start out with small lectures or reflections of the day before, but not for Amos. If there’s something to learn, you learn it over the press. That was actually [...]
AMOS 1.
When Amos Kennedy introduced himself yesterday for the Joker’s Wild: Unpredictable Letterpress workshop sponsored by the Book Arts Program, he said, “All I do is put ink on paper. Sometimes I do it good, sometimes I do it bad.” Then he introduced our project where we can print any content [...]

The 3rd Annual Craft Lake City was held yesterday, a blistering hot day. I had sweaty bangs and sticky legs to prove it. The 2nd annual was my very first big event and my oh my what a year it has been since. I have learned and observed so much [...]
THREE.
Yesterday was a crazy day. I had two art shows, but not only that I had to somewhat professionally hang 33 frames for one of them and still had to complete my piece for the other before both events started. My little photo club of four friends, Grain, had a [...]
BOX.
It’s that time of year again. Kayo Gallery‘s annual Box Paper Scissor fundraiser is this Friday night. All cigar boxes are decorated, inside and out, by artists then donated to the gallery. Every bid goes directly into help the gallery run all year long. Kayo is definitely one of my [...]
ALTERNATIVE.
Last Saturday was the 3rd Annual Alt Press Fest held at the downtown City Library. The festival concentrates on book arts, mostly zines, and invites other paper artists like print makers to show their wares. I am very unfamiliar with zine making and couldn’t make it to any pre festival [...]
CHASE.
Within the dusty box that came with my press, was a chase (to hold the artwork together), already with type set up with metal furniture. I’ve never seen metal furniture before like this and like everything else, it needs a good cleaning. In my last post about this press, I [...]
