Thanks to everyone that came out to Snug Harbor and had a shirt printed on 7/3/2010. Also, thanks to Snug Harbor for having me there and Drive By Press for the inspiration. See the woodcut I created for the event and below – blowing up a pirate ship…

Thats a fine shirt! What ink did you use – was it just your standard printmaking ink?
Thanks! Yeah – plain old oil based relief ink. After it’s no longer wet, a trip through the dryer sets the image pretty well.
What a great project. What make of press were you using? I teach printmaking and do demonstrations of techniques around town. Is the press easily transportable?
What a lively print. Sounds like a fun event.
Dan, I just saw your name on the IPCNY Summer Prints lineup. Hearty congratulations!
Thanks Annie – I’m pretty thrilled about that! I was jealous when I saw the postings about the show you were in up there – along side Endi Poskovic. I’m looking forward to the opening.
Lynne – that is the press that Dick Blick sells, I think it is under the Richeson name now. They are affordable, reliable and very transportable. I own what was called the Econo-etch, the smallest version with a 1-1 gear ratio. The one pictured here is a size or two up from that. That one is about as heavy as I would want to carry on my own.
