It’s super cool to find #printmaking friends here (something I never really did on twitter!) My name is Alexis, and I’m a printmaker and illustrator specializing in relief prints. I live just outside of Washington DC with my husband Ben and our two black cats, Lumi and Sully.
Printed some minis of a digital illustration that I made last year to include as extras with orders. Look at these cuties!

The wind and cold today are absolutely brutal. Has there ever been a longer winter than this one? Spent the morning distracting myself from the scary weather by making meatballs, then took a nap and now I’m printing pastina until the sun goes down.

The Olympics opening ceremony has people dressed like Cupid & Psyche dancing around giant classical busts in display cases, this was made for me.

Day four of being stuck in the house because we can’t clear a path through the ice with the tools we have. I cannot stress how degrading it is to stand outside in 10 degree weather chipping at ice with garden shears. TBH might be one of the most isolating things I’ve experienced.

Winter storm has passed and the night is quiet and blanketed in snow. Made chicken soup, popcorn with extra butter and homemade hot chocolate. Been checking for my stray cat fam (aka "the oranges") all day; finally saw one of them in the snowy moonlight, emerging from the shelter I put out for them.

Two rounds of shoveling complete. Sleet can go straight to hell.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

I know there are a lot of problems in the world, but my heart breaks a little every time I see another artist finally succumb to using AI.

Been printing a lot of new things in prep for a shop update. Death’s head hawk moths on purple rag paper, new editions of my claddagh and magnolia hand prints. Lots of other things I haven’t photographed yet. Gravitating toward shades of green and “pretty things” for this year.

Did some test prints for Valentine’s garlands on glitter card stock. Going to see how long it takes for the ink to dry down, but it sure does look rad.
