Start your steamroller engines

Jessica and I are carving like mad this week, getting ready for some quality steamroller time.

Next Sunday, April 25, is the sixth-annual Wayzgoose at King’s Books, right here in Tacoma. This year promises to be the biggest hullabaloo yet, with letterpress magnetic poetry, B.Y.O. t-shirt printing, papermaking demos, artist tables, and the star of the show: steamroller printing! Last year over 500 people came to check it out, despite a torrential downpour—and this year, the weather just might promise to behave, so we’re bracing for a mob. There’s a reason for the crowds: this is a heckuva lot of fun. Here’s the skinny:

Eight artists and artist-teams will be printing gigantic three-by-four-foot linocuts in the street, including Jessica and me—we’ll be adding another unofficial Dead Feminist to our roster. (Take a gander at our last steamroller print here.) This is just a sneak peek; stop by next Sunday to see this block in action.

See you there!

  1. You are such a tease to only show us small photos like this! I just want to reach in my computer to hold the lino block closer to my face. Your carving looks so interesting!

    I’ll be driving back from Spokane on Sunday but will leave extra early to make it. What fun! I can’t wait to see your carving.
