Make prints.

It all begins with an idea. My big idea hit in 1999 while sitting at my desk trying to survive a 9-5 gig. I realized I needed to build a printing press, from scratch, in order to hand-print the art I had in my head. It would be great to make prints to share with the world I thought, but more than anything, I simply needed to get my hands dirty and make prints. So, with no plans to follow for building a screenprint press, I began to tinker with ideas in my garage using salvaged parts from a table saw and other bits I had scavenged. I learned how to weld. I designed some specialized parts I thought would make the press work better and my uncle machined them for me. Two years later, I had a working printing press.

After lots of trial and even more error, I was making silkscreen prints purely for the joy of it. Figuring it all out as I went along. By 2005, I took a leap of faith, left my comfortable job and have pursued my dream ever since.
