So there’s just a few of these left up for grabs if you want one. $35 + shipping, shipped on 10/20; 6ft long, 12 4” skulls in acid orange, Frankenstein green and white. Screenprinted in an edition of just 15 garlands! Message me if you’re interested.

I can’t believe @peteramartino.bsky.social is convincing me to make these to sell. Anyone here interested? Check out my IG stories @9inhandpress for all the info!

Students didn’t appreciate it enough, so I brought it home and now it’ll live here forever.

One block, countless possibilities. Happy spoopy season.

First month of the new job down, so many more to go.

We’re doing it again! For pre-sale only, I’m re-editioning these 8x10” ‘Eat the Rich’ prints to raise funds for World Central Kitchen and ACLU Nationwide! $20 + $5 USA s/h or $10 international s/h. Pre-sale ends on 9/30, and prints will ship in early October. Venmo, PayPal, Zelle on request!

Signs of life from the first week of the new job!

Taking on a new full-time job starting tomorrow. For some reason, they’re trusting me with keys.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

the way we went from everyone stand 6 feet apart to immersive theatre everywhere

💥Doing a print clearance over on my IG stories (@9inhandpress). 🚨Pay-what-you-can, I-just-want-them-gone prices. 🚨 Some sample images below, more over on IG.

Honestly, maybe one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Nausea is gone; time for ravioli

Is Bluesky the place for this? For 10 years, I’ve hosted an intl print exchange that’s grown to nearly 1000 artists (and some 15,000 prints) of all levels of experience. 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the exchange and I couldn’t be more excited (and scared) to kick this off one more time!

Signs of life.

Wrapping up this month’s @patreon edition with a few layers of screenprint. Still a few other layers to toss on here! There’s still time to get yourself subscribed to my Patreon and get your hands on this print (and a new print every month!) for $15/month! Catch me over at patreon.com/9INHANDPRESS.

Headline omits that they a Democrat state senators. This fact matters.

Date night sometimes means beers and more than a few hours spent at Color Me Mine.

Why does the MAYOR of NYC need to travel abroad? Explain it to me like I am in kindergarten.

What a miserable hag.

💥Taking the plunge! Starting today, I’ve launched a Patreon, aiming to get you exclusive limited edition print drops, and embracing the small-d democracy of printmaking. Join for free for studio updates, 10th annual Print Exchange behind-the-scenes, and a whole lotta research information (1/2)

Every week we hope that @paramountplus.com will be a better app. And every week, we are disappointed.

Thinking about starting a Patreon/subscription for monthly print drops. Low cost, easy to build a collection of prints/art, exclusives and limited editions; real fine art prints, not digital or giclee. Interested? My IG is 9inhandpress. Check out the possibilities there!

It’s me. I’m back.

WFH Wednesday looks different when the building you just moved into has a gym.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

💥STUDIO SALE!💥 As happens, it’s time to let some of my studio things go before March 31! Coming this weekend (Friday 3/28 and Sunday 3/30), I’m cleaning out my space and making so many things available (and so cheap!) to you! DM me for location. It’s gotta go before the 31st, so let’s make a deal!

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids. The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids. "Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel. Sigh.

If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

‘everything was so green’, 11-layer screenprint and collage on BFK Rives, 11x15. Edition of 28 (plus a few extra for the lovely folks who helped me along this print’s journey). Printed for the ‘Collaging Identity’ portfolio exchange organized by @ptpress.bsky.social and I for SGCI.

Oh hi again. On the table today, 50 hand-torn, hand-folded and finger-creased screenprinted receipts, promptly glued to 40 almost-complete prints. (One final layer gets printed next week.)

I hit a wall. Life got in the way and changed everything for us in just a few days. Which happens once in a while. (It happened to the kids in the photograph a lot.) I don’t know that I want to finish this edition; I will finish it, because I have to.

Could use some good vibes.

I still have to glue down 40 receipts (along the top, so you can still lift it) and print the blue tape strip. Today was for a lot of underprinting to make the yellow and orange really pop, which was a good distraction from some poor family news. More info in alt text.

Early morning printing, and figuring out a registration guide for mounting the receipts.

Today’s studio shots: printing the 6(!) layers of the CMYK photograph (under print transparent gray, CMYK, and then Y again for more saturation.). Planning the rest of the stencil placements. More info in the alt text!

Decisions, decisions. After screenprinting 50 receipts, I’m now wondering how it should be mounted to the print: flat and pristine? Crinkled and probably put through the wash? Or dog-eared and fed to my wallet as a snack? (They’ll be mounted in the position of the left-most, if that’s important.)

CMYK tests with assistance from @edsonrosas.bsky.social! Fine tuning the process colors to make sure the transparency levels are good, adjusting each color (Y warmer + a hint of purple, C + a spot orange, M+ a bit green, and K became sepia) until I was (mostly) happy with the outcome (final image).

10 layers in: Is it complete? (The receipt image will be printed on separate paper, adhered to the print at the top edge; the “tape” will be screenprinted.)

On today’s workbench: the first layer down on my edition for @ptpress.bsky.social and my SGCI portfolio exchange ‘Collaging Identity’, and an unrelated 12x18” linocut to stretch my muscles in preparation for teaching BIG Linocut at Arts Council of Princeton next month. #printmaking

If I tear it? Well, eventually I gotta print it. 40 sheets of BFK Rives awaiting a two-color relief and eight-color screenprint for SGCI.

Different kind of work today: prepping for @lizmassa.bsky.social’s watercolor monotype workshop for my college students. She’ll be teaching them all sorts of painterly monotype techniques using Daniel Smith watercolors, water-soluble graphite and mark-making tools before I teach them intaglio.
