The biggest little project to come out of my Ready

The biggest little project to come out of my Readyville print shop: this letterpress printed 2024 Bluegrass stamp artwork for the United States Postal Service. If I could go back in time to show this to my Papa and little kid me as we sat in his truck and wore out Flatt & Scruggs’ Live at Vanderbilt cassette, they would be thrilled– and I am!

There have been many memorable moments since I started working on this project last fall: drawing pages of tiny sketches on @starshapedpress pica paper. Visiting Bill Monroe’s mandolin and Earl Scruggs’ banjo on lunch break at the @countrymusichof / @hatchshowprint . Tons of inspiration they may not even realize from @eastnashgrass , @hawktailband , @markthorntonguitar and @springfedrecords from working with them and watching them perform around the time I was developing imagery. Putting finishing touches on proofs in my family’s Las Piñas living room. Mailing off the final prints the weekend a tornado took the roof off my local post office.

All this yammering to say I am so inspired by the folks and music I get to be around, and am very grateful to the USPS for this opportunity. Biggest thanks to @antoniostudioa , whose kind and expert art direction steered me away from the perils of tiny design and made this such a great experience. Looking forward to sending mail with these sometime next year!

Album art for @uncleshuffelo , coming out on @springfedrecords early next month. Getting to draw things for a true blue old time band incorporating a @stonesinmypathway tintype and old sheet music reference imagery is pretty much my definition of a good time– take a listen to their new singles out now on streaming platforms!

Wrapping up a long weekend of print adventures at the @southwestprintfiesta and I couldn’t be happier with all the great work from the past couple days (AND the hardworking students that made it 🌟) So many new friends. So many new ideas. So many feet above sea level.

Well here is a show I never dreamed I’d get to be a part of! Grateful to @bvitualla and @apimidtn for putting this together– I’ll be showing a new print and some not-so-new prints (with new Tagalog subtitles). Looking forward to meeting some of the artists involved at our reception next Wednesday ☀️

@girlswritenashville descends upon Nashville again

@girlswritenashville descends upon Nashville again on October 8! It’s been such a treat listening to the tunes they’ve been working on, and always a pleasure to draw for.

This year’s poster design features @violetofeelya ‘s perfect boots that she got when she was in a similar program growing up and I hearrrr they’ve never left her feet since 🥾🥾

New studio portrait for a recent interview with @canvasrebel where I talk about Microsoft Word posters, the Lordymercy origin story, and how the secret to connecting with clients is really just pretending to be @caseymagic 🔮

Thanks to @threecheerspress and @amyliza.dejesus for throwing my name in the hat for some cool interviews lately– in a year that seems to be melting away before my eyes, it was fun to stop and think about things I’ve been lucky to have come my way. Link in bio for those curious and/or bored!
