Tugboat Printshop!

ISSUE #39

MARCH 2011


Ahh, Springtime! Bye, bye grey cloudcover ~ hello, hello round sun!  We are busy bees here at Tugboat Printshop as the season begins to swap, with much news to share! 
 
"MAMA BEAR" Woodcut!
Piled high with fuzzy cubs, this roaring "MAMA BEAR" bounds across a field of mossy green, about to smash down into a powerful stance upon rings of lacy, milky blue lichens. No trial or trouble is too fierce in her pursuit to protect her roly poly brood. A flow of dark red fur curls & zigzags energetically across the backs and limbs of these strawberry pink bears. Color just dances through the image ~ our simple photography hardly does it justice! PICK UP YOUR COPY HERE!
 
MAMA BEAR woodcut by Tugboat Printshop 
"MAMA BEAR" is printed from 4 woodblocks onto 20" x 16" Japanese Kitakata paper. This print will be in production March 24-30 while Tugboat Printshop is a visiting artist at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Orders for "MAMA BEAR" will ship out the week of April 2, 2012.
 

"GARDEN" Update!
We're in the final homestretch with "GARDEN" ~ a labor of love for sure! Color blocks are now being carved! The print should be wrapping up and ready to ship out by mid-April! Many thanks to all pre-orderers for your patience with our meticulous handiwork...we think you will feel the reward of the wait when you get this multi-colored whopper in the mail!
 
"GARDEN is still available for pre-order until mid-April, so if you haven't ordered your print yet, tick tock!
