Today is Memorial Day in the United States, a holiday designated for the remembrance of those lost in time of war. But on this day, Jessica and I can’t help but extend our thoughts to others as well, in the spirit of peace. Today our eyes and hearts are trained on the far shores of …
I’m still not sure how it happened, but it’s May already—and that means Jessica and I are due for another broadside. This weekend, while everyone else is grilling hot dogs, we’re cooking up something entirely different. Now, if only print racks left behind those tasty-looking grill marks… Memorial Day has a little bit of a …
Holy flying gaggles, but we upped the ante this year! I don’t know if it was the gorgeous sunshine that graced us after literally months of dreary rain— —or Sweet Pea’s extra-awesome 2011 poncho— but this year’s Wayzgoose was larger than life. (In case you’re curious, that little Sigwalt press is inked up to print …
Jessica and I have locked ourselves in her studio with an armful of Talking Heads records (go, portable turntable!) and some very sharp knives. Don’t worry about us, though—it’s just an annual tradition here in T-town. That’s because this Sunday is the seventh annual Wayzgoose, that crazy letterpress block party that draws hordes, flocks, gaggles …

Without further ado, I’ll hand over my pen to her: Reading is important. Read between the lines. Don’t swallow everything. I guess we’re done with the knitting needles and home canning for …
Maybe it’s the changing seasons. Or the fact that the farmers market runneth over with delicious autumn goodies. Or maybe we just wanted to talk about something that made us smile, for a change—because this time, for our tenth broadside, Jessica and I have turned to a subject somewhat lighter of heart. From the likes …
Today I bundled up and headed down to the state capitol in Oly for a once-in-a-century party. One hundred years ago today, the state of Washington approved an amendment to the state constitution granting women the right to vote. To celebrate the occasion, the capitol rotunda played host to the Centennial Day of Jubilation. Forget …
Note: this is an excerpt of a post over on Chandler’s studio blog. You can read the full post about the event here. Lately Jessica has been cooking up something pretty great. Thanks to her hard work and our wonderful curator Brian Hutcheson‘s invitation, we are pleased as punch to announce our first-ever dual exhibition! …
As autumn approaches and the inevitable rainy season knocks at our doors, Jessica and I are dreaming of the sunny skies of Arizona—where the not-so-sunny SB 1070, the state’s contentious new immigration reform bill, was signed into law earlier this year. At every turn, controversy pricks underfoot and looms overhead—with no easy, clear-cut answers in …
