Inked up,

hand-pulled,

and voilà! Our second collaborative steamroller print, an unofficial Dead Feminist, inspired by Cora Smith Eaton King, who in 1909 climbed Mt. Rainier with a party of Mountaineers and placed a “Votes for Women” banner at the summit.

This year’s Wayzgoose was the biggest bash yet! Outside we had all the regulars, like the steamroller sorcery of Chris Sharp,

Ric Matthies and his seriously-amazing perfection under pressure (no pun intended),

Jessica Spring, my partner in crime,

and the gifted-as-ever Stadium High School printmaking students.

Inside, folks were printing their own copy of the excellent new Beautiful Angle poster,

and many other talented book artist and printers (like Lisa Hasegawa here) were showing their stuff.

The whole shindig had a befezzed flavor, thanks to C.L.A.W. and the inimitable R.R. Anderson,

and the Dockyard Derby Dames rounded out a whole host of newcomers.

We had an enormous crowd (thank goodness for the good weather!),

and even a few unexpected audience members.

This year I got to try my hand at driving the steamroller,

but I think pretending was plenty enough for this little guy.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by to say hello, or stuck around to lend a helping hand.

And of course, a huge bucket of gratitude to the Tacoma Arts Commission for making it all happen!

One more acknowledgement: photography by Michael O’Leary. Thanks, Dad!
