So appropriate for the times we are in now.

This seemed appropriate for today. This is a print based on a tale of the Endurance, they were on a dangerous journey, encountered hardships, and be impossible odds to make it back home alive. They all pulled though and not a single man was lost, they did this by never loosing hope and looking out for one another.  We will get through this hard time, by applying the same lesson here.

Four Plate color etching “Los Indianos” 18x24 inches plate marks. This is still one of my favorite prints of all time, by Fred Stonehouse. Fred is a painter but when he makes prints the world smiles! This print has made the rounds and will next be framed and go in the permanent collection.

Picked up this re-strike engraving while traveling in Italy. We stayed in Florence so this seemed like a great souvenir! Measures 11x35inches roughly.

Sean Starwars is an OG of woodcut printmaking. He lives in Laurel, MS; with his wife and five young children, Sean has been an inspiration to DBP for years now. In addition to making woodcuts for over two decades, Star Wars’ work can be seen on book covers, album covers, magazines, and gig posters. Drive by Press  has always seen Sean as an artistic pioneer. His rough woodcut style is a direct result of the ferocious energy he attacks his wood-blocks with his carving tools while working.  Sean is prolific image maker by any standard and especially by printmaking standards. He runs a shop in Laurel MS called Woodcut FunHouse where he cranks this awesome stuff out weekly!   Check him out here! http://www.seanstarwars.com/
