Last year’s pochoir print demo is perennially pertinent.

First month of the new job down, so many more to go.
A selfie of a very tired 39 year old in a black T-shirt, resting his sleepy face on the palm of his hand. On the right side of the image, white text on a red rectangle reads “Send caffeine.”

Honestly, maybe one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
A concert photograph shows the singer Kesha holding a mannequin head styled to look like her own. The singer is dressed in a white corset and wrapped in white fabric. She is framed by backlit silhouettes of hands in the foreground.

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.

Ya boy got featured in Pressing Matters magazine, issue 31. A requiem for my New Hope studio, and a look forward to what’s ahead for 9INHANDPRESS. Get yourself a digital or physical copy today at www.pressingmattersmag.com
A two-page magazine spread on an orange background. The left side of the spread features four photos of the 9INHANDPRESS studio (a photograph of a press table, a rack of work-in-progress prints, a collection of books, and a pegboard containing brayers and printmaking tools of all sorts). The right side includes text, and four images: one of the artist, and three pieces of the artist’s work. A closer screen grab of the grid of four photos from the spread. The cover of issue 31 of Pressing Matters magazine; showcasing two artists working on a large relief print on a press. The artists are lifting the print from the matrix.
