#Repost @mikesimps ・・・ Queen of The Night. This was a huge challenge for me. It was my first time creating a relief print. Coming up with the design, drawing and especially carving took over forty hours to complete. Working closely with other amazing artists and the @biginkprints crew @salemstate was a great experience . Thank you all so much for having me! I hope I get a chance to work with you all again in the near future. @planethaig @flighttoimagination @danmakesart #relief #reliefprint #thebigtuna #hecate #wood #carving #bigprints #mikesimps (at Salem State University)

If you happen to be located in another part of the country catch us at one of eight other venues including galleries, art centers, and print studios along the East and West Coasts. Each event features over a dozen participants working in various creative fields such as print, design, painting, and sculpture. BIG INK provides everything needed to print your large woodblock including consumable materials, equipment, and technical expertise. Participants also have access to how-to guides and may be curated into one of the several large-scale print shows we organize each year.
