I am an illustrator with a letterpress print studio. I use moveable type and my own woodcuts to create letterpress ephemera, including greeting cards and prints. I also make books, calendars, and games with my own stories and illustrations. These are printed with letterpress and digital processes.
My garden, travel, architecture, and industrial history are a few of my inspirations. This year, I have been feeling especially inspired by my own industrial processes. I have modified one of my antique presses to produce cards with more colorful gradients, and I am experimenting with papermaking!
I have been doing letterpress for 15 years, and I have long been frustrated at how much nice paper I lose to trimming and test prints. Last year, I decided to do something about it! I took a paper making course, made a mould and deckle, and in 2026 I'll introduce prints on handmade recycled paper.
