Jessica has been churning out a crop of lemonade journals lately, including some fun new ones from the outtakes of our Focal Point print. Look for them soon in the shop!
Making lemonade
They clean up nice, don’t they?
Well, I only just realized that my only photo of last night’s opening (stupid phone!) was so out of focus, but oh well. It still gives you an idea of how nicely the Wayzgoose steamroller prints look on a gallery wall! Thanks to everybody who made the trek down to Parkland last night for the …
Water off a goose’s back
Don’t be distracted by Ric’s smile—see the puddles everywhere? See the winter gear people are wearing? Sunday was the craziest Wayzgoose yet, hands down. That’s because we had both the biggest crowd ever and the worst weather imaginable. So that smile is one of triumph: getting a decent steamroller print that day required beating some …
Done and dusted
The carving is done, and we can’t wait to show you the finished product. See you at the Wayzgoose on Sunday!
Version 10.0
Here we are: year ten. Since the time Jessica founded the Tacoma Wayzgoose all those years ago, it’s become one heckuva beast—and a veritable Tacoma institution. So here are a few sneak peeks of the giant linoleum block she and I are carving—and we’ll reveal all on Sunday: 10th Annual Tacoma Wayzgoose Sunday, April 27, …

Gallery goose
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Tacoma Wayzgoose! The festival isn’t until the end of April, but we’re celebrating early with an exhibit of all the giant steamroller prints created over the years at the Pacific Lutheran University Gallery. It’s going to be a doozy! And we’re honored to see the artwork we …
Tandem printing
Jessica’s studio is hopping lately. She and I are working on the next broadside, and our friend R.J. joined us on the adjacent press. There’s just something so satisfying about a room filled with the sound of Vandercook motors humming…
Hand-lettered holidays
Even though it’s nearly as late as it could possibly be, here I am thinking, “Already?!?” But it’s true—even if you don’t do Black Friday (as you can probably guess, I’m partial to Small Business Saturday myself), today’s the “official” opener of the holiday season. And for perhaps the first time ever, we’re actually ready …
Nightsong
As the school year begins again and the pace of life quickens, the easy pace of summer has made way for a season of bustling, planning, and dreaming of times ahead. Yet worldwide, over and over again, the plans and dreams of so many women and girls are cut short by violence. In light of …
