Haven't ever made anything like this. Done completely with an itty bitty V gouge. Can't wait to see it in ink! #printmaking #linocut #reliefprint #snakeprint #doodlecarve #vgouge

Realizing I just printed here for probably the last time. Having all the feels. Anchor Graphics has been my safe place, my home, and my escape from insanity for the last 3 years. So grateful for everything this place and its people have given me. #anchorgraphics #davidjones #chrisflynn #printmaking #chicagoprintmaking #imnotcryingyouare (at Anchor Graphics)

Packing up my studio comes with all the textures and all the feels #studio #packitup #seeyanever #kozo

Sometimes you put a piece down upside down and you decide last minute to switch the wiring. This piece now hangs like this. #printmaking #etching #MFAthesis #grasp

@igiveitaweek snapped this pic while I was folding editions of my thesis book in a random gallery with floor space. It never ends. #mfathesis #photogravure #bookarts #killmenow #noimalreadydead
