Jessica and I (and our friend Caitlyn) were invited to have a table at this yesterday’s Wayzgoose at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle. We didn’t contribute a steamroller print this time, so it was fun to just be part of the audience outside, and enjoy the show! I love the sort of mischief …
Lotus blooming
Jessica and I are hard at work on the next Dead Feminist—I’m inking flowers and separating colors this week, and then we’ll be on press before you know it. Look for more in the coming weeks…
Steam punks
Note: this is an excerpt of the Wayzgoose post over on Chandler’s studio blog. You can read the full post about the event here. Wayzgoose worked like a well-oiled machine this year—and that’s the way we like it. (Even if we were just a little extra tired afterward.) Photo by Victoria Bjorklund And it’s no …
Gun Shy
This has not been an easy post to write—and yet in a way it’s been writing itself over and over again, for years now. To be honest, Jessica and I designed this broadside months ago, and planned to release it shortly after last year’s theater shooting in Aurora, CO. Other projects got in the way, …
The view from where I stand
Right now I’m in California, manning my table and representing the Dead Feminists at the Codex Book Fair. But I have to say, it’s a little hard to concentrate. I mean, not only am I surrounded by incredible work by a couple hundred artists—but just look at this space! We’re in a new venue this …
Keep the Change
If you have any sort of link to the outside world (television, radio, internet access, newspaper, mailbox), chances are you’ve been unable to escape this year’s deluge of advertising, chatter and glossy-printed recycling fodder—all centered around this coming Tuesday. It’s enough to have even four-year-olds throwing up their hands in frustration. Jessica and I, however, …
Write-in vote
Our pencils are sharp, and our presses are fired up. Jessica and I are churning out our next candidate for Dead Feminist, and she’ll be on the ballot next week. You can catch her online then, or if you’re local, see her first at this weekend’s Studio Tour. Whatever you do, don’t forget to cast …
Penland sketchbook
Since Jessica and I got back from teaching at the Penland School of Crafts, I’ve been struggling to put the experience into words. But no matter how I go on about how beautiful the Blue Ridge Mountains are; or how unique Penland’s creative culture is; or how amazingly talented each and every one of our …
Mountain dispatch
All I can manage is a quick note today—because this is where I am right now … and this place has got me pretty speechless. I’m here teaching with Jessica this week, with a studio full of smart, sassy, and seriously talented women. The class has got us inspired to stay up late printing every …
Love Nest
If you happen to live in Washington state, you can’t help but notice that love is in the air. It’s not quite what you think, though—rather than turtledoves and cupids flying around, the breeze is carrying ballot petitions and angry voices. Though Washington became the seventh U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage earlier this year, …
