I don’t love doing this bit, but they do look swell in their mats.

April was a haul, so I didn’t get nearly as much written as I hoped. But, whelp, some is better than none! Now that May is here, I’ve been preparing for my first #Art fair of the year, which is this weekend in #PortlandMaine. I’ve also been learning #ScreenPrinting, and @bloofbooks has a new book to launch.
Here’s a poem by Nicole Steinberg for #VerseThursday. (I’m still in the weeds with projects, so I haven’t been here much. When will I learn not to take so much on?!)

Doing both #Februllage2023 and #FebdrewaryChallenge this month, because it’s way too cold to hike.

Won’t crosspost them all, so see me at (at)hiwaterpress on IG if you’re into it? But here are yesterday’s, for the prompts FISH and FRESH.

#Collage #AnalogCollage #MastoArt #FediArt

The Smell of the Lamp, 2022, monotype collage. Giclée prints available, in archival inks on archival matte paper. Three sizes. The original was created from my own hand-printed papers and a page from a set of (crumbling) antique books.

Good morning. I’ve got a new archival-quality #collage print in my shop, if you’re into things like that. (These do ship internationally from the printer, unlike most of the things in my shop currently, and can be ordered framed.)

Here’s a little #Fernstodon, #LichenSubscribe, #Sporespondence for you, from the (very wet!) trail today. It is absolutely magic to go slip into some green in the middle of January, right?

#Maine #Hiking

Whew. Closed three freelance book design projects already, but there are more in the wings. I'm in good shape since tomorrow's just the 10th. How's your January treating you?

Good morning

It was a good fire. All messages were burned, and at the end I added some broad ones for us all. Happy new year. Let it go, if you can.
