2nd Annual Seattle Artist League Steamroller Printmaking Party. Photo by Jonathan Matteson
Last Saturday was a big giant fun day at the 2nd annual big giant Steamroller Printmaking Party! We had a great turnout of printmakers, League students, and new community members. All together, we covered the wall of the building with big giant prints. It was a big giant great day, and we’ve heard from you that it was the big giant best day ever. Miles Strombach wrote us a big giant lovely letter. Here’s a snippet:
Saturday was one of best days of my life. […] It was the most collaborative event I’ve been a part of. […] We had dozens of people of all kinds come by to see what we were doing. […] It felt like I was in a cool secret club, except the goal was to make the club as un-secret as possible so that everyone can experience the magic. I’ve never felt so part of something, so connected to my community and the people that I live on this planet with. It was a sincerely wonderful experience, and I would never have had it if I hadn’t made the enormous step of taking art classes.” – Miles Strombach

Yes! That’s what we want the Seattle Artist League to be like! We are so happy you are a part of the League, Miles. People like you are the reason we are doing this, and the reason the League is growing into a fun, challenging, and welcoming community. We are so glad you’re a member, and we didn’t know it until now, but the world is one squid better thanks to your print design.

This image gave me pause, each figure in their own separated space. I used to see it as introverted and introspective. Now I see it as enforced loneliness and confinement.

On January 6 I posted a challenge that was inspired by John Oliver on Last Week Tonight. The challenge was to imagine what Julius Pringles looks like below the neck. We had so many fun submissions that I felt they deserved to be in their own collection. Here they are, in their crispy glory, starting …
