YELLOW BLOCK FOR "LOG"

The final piece of the "LOG" woodcut puzzle--the yellow block! 4 blocks together make the final artwork. More about that & all the blocks (and first proof!) here.

PRINTING THE KEY

Printing the key block on the "FARM BARGE" Woodcut ~ the final run through the press! A nice crisp black ink atop all that bright, happy color. We are pleased!

RED, BLUE, YELLOW BLOCKS!

Oh, the rainbow of colors so soon to be yielded from these big blocks in the works at Tugboat Printshop this week! Joy, joy, joy!!! Yellow block will make yellow, orange, green, brown! Blue will make blue, green, brown, purple! Red will make red, orange, purple brown! And don't forget the 2 key blocks HERE & HERE that will print, too! (Yep ~ it's a long process…) Proofing in just a couple days! SO AMPED!!

"GARDEN" is up for PRE-ORDER until we've finished the editioning, so if you haven't already, grab your copy of the "GARDEN" today!

BEARS, GARDENS, OH MY!

As many of you may know from our most recent newsletter, life has been a-changin' around Tugboat Printshop! With our first little one well on the way, we've been undergoing some overdue updates to our in-house space…which has displaced most of our printshop activities for the bulk of the past 2 months or so making it pretty challenging to find little nooks to set up amidst the clang and the bang to draw and carve.

With great relief, we are back in full swing in our space again this week! Expect to see more updates, more photos and some finished prints wrapping up shortly! Oh geez we can't even begin to communicate how exciting this feels!

Photos above feature a couple of new blocks in progress…more soon!

"ISLAND" IN PROGRESS

This is a print called 'ISLAND' or maybe 'ONE MAN ISLAND'

Its a little escape to go to whenever you want. The upside and downside is that there aren't any neighbors.

BIG, BAD WOLF

More process shots from the making of "Big, Bad Wolf!" Size is about 16" x 20" or so ~ to be a color woodblock printed from 2 blocks.
