Well this one has been on my to do list for ages.  It wasn't until we procured our Vandercook 219 press, which can make prints up to 18 x 24 inches, that I began to really feel motivated to get it done.  It just felt like it needed to be in a larger format with all the interesting inlets and bays.   We as a family have only begun to explore Puget Sound, mainly around the Olympic Peninsula (Hood Canal and the Sequim/Port Angeles area).  There really is so much to it with all the islands and beaches.   The Pacific Northwest is a paradise for outdoorsy folk.  I ..read more

Last year I had the opportunity to expand my horizons and do something a little new for me...it was cartography but this time involved collaborating with a publisher and creating maps for an atlas.  Specifically a surf atlas.  I made six maps in total that spanned the globe.  They feature all the major surf locations in the world.  I really did learn a lot (not to mention brushed up on my geography!).  The book is called "The Surf Atlas" and it was created by the German publishing house Gestalten.  Here's a peek of the book.  You can purchase it here ..read more

Well, this one has been a long time coming.  This map of Vancouver Island is the biggest map that we have in our catalog-it is printed on 18 x 24 inch paper.  About a year ago we purchased another Vandercook letterpress, one that could print even bigger pieces.  One of our top inquiries is if we can print things larger so we thought it might be cool to have a few larger maps on offer.  It took awhile to figure out the new press (all these old machines have their quirks), come up with a design, and get it on the press, but we're so happy with how this map turned out!  I ..read more

Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach is one of those landscape features that no matter how many times you have seen it you still can't look away.  I've wanted to create a print with it at the center for some time now.  If you look closely you can see that I printed this one in 7 colors.  Which means I registered the plates, sent the paper through the press, and re-inked 7 times.  It's a lot of work but I love it and have to say I want to add even more layers of color on the next one!   ..read more
