A honey of a surprise! My friend and neighbor @francisca_nl stopped by yesterday to share some incredible stamps that her mom collected. This group of bees (and wasps) from Vietnam are especially sweet. I’ve posted them in the shop along with ships, satellites and fleur-de-lis from my father’s collection. Many thanks for the purchases and encouragement, and please enjoy the day however you celebrate. #printmakersagainstracism #racismstings #endaapiviolence #letterpress #philately #ephemera (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQMQ-fB-VB/?igshid=jne6vnvxzz13

These letterpress prints combine vintage international postage stamps collected by my father with subtly patterned handmade Japanese paper and handset antique metal type. The diminutive 2.25 x 3.5 inch size has a big message in response to continuing racism and confounding hatred. A portion of each sale supports Tacoma's @apcc96 Asia Pacific Cultural Center, which serves as an interactive cultural crossroads between local and international communities. Most of these prints are one-of-a-kind, and I'll continue to post other varieties as part of Printmakers Against Racism through April 11. #printmakersagainstracism #philately #letterpress #smallsides #stopaapihate (at Tacoma, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNNZVb6BFYF/?igshid=sbslcycp61qk

Repost @deadfeminists 🌻 We’re joining with printmakers round the world and @printmakingasresistance this week. These are “unofficial” members of the Dead Feminists broadsides series: small letterpress keepsakes done in the style and spirit of the series. We created this pair of sister-prints during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Each mini-broadside was printed from metal type handset by Jessica, and a linocut illustration hand-carved and hand-painted with watercolor by Chandler. Choose from one of two print designs, or purchase both together as a set: • Chief Wilma Mankiller’s quote is accompanied by a pair of Cherokee roses; Mankiller was the first woman elected to serve as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. • Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell’s quote is adorned with two English roses; Blackwell, a British physician, was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. We created this edition in response to the horrifying news that the pandemic has had a devastating and disproportionate effect on the physical and economic health of Indigenous communities—particularly the Dine’ (Navajo) nation in the Southwest. To help contribute to the fight against the coronavirus by and within tribal nations, we are donating half of the proceeds of this print to the National Indian Health Board @nihb1 #printmakersagainstracism #wilmamankiller #elizabethblackwell #deadfeminists #linocut #letterpress https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQWsSjBqdz/?igshid=qjj4xhbuhlho
