Hi! I'm Lezlie Dorcus (they/them) and I am a tattoo artist and printmaker in Portland, Oregon. I created this blog 10 years ago when I was working on project "Print-52". The goal of the project was to print one screen print a week for a full calendar year! Now I am coming back to the blog to update it with more current work, including prints, digital work and my tattoo practice. you can see more of my work at Lesliedorcus.com and lezliedorcustattoo.squarespace.com/
