Working with ink, paper, leaves, scissors, and other materials, Atlanta-based graphic designer Matthias Brown (previously) loves to experiment with rotoscoping and other traced animations that he shares on his Tumblr, Traceloops.

Brown has also lent his design sense to a host of brands including Tate Modern, Converse, MTV and others, and you can get lost in more of his trippy animations here. More

Big blooms burst from branching stems, each blossom fringed with white-tinted petals (the 2nd block prints this petal color). Flower centers are tipped with a varying patternwork of star-snapped pollens. A still-life composition, printed from 2 woodblocks in dark & light, the "DAISY BOUQUET" is a pretty & classic print.

Goats are not governable creatures, and neither should we be, these days. Spread some joy and chaos with these rowdy baby goats and their message of resistance. This vinyl sticker measures 5"x3.5" and is perfect for your water bottle, laptop, car, a random lamp post... anywhere! It's waterproof and weatherproof thanks to the sturdy vinyl and laminate coating it's made from. To make this sticker, we drew the design, carved it into linoleum, hand printed it, photographed it, cleaned up the digitized image, and sent it off to a maker of custom stickers for printing. 10% of profits go to support Land Back, reparations, trans folks in need, and other mutual aid efforts. If you want to support our art, please consider buying from our website - www.CritterButts.com - there are significantly less fees involved! :) Critter Butts is run by two queer, neurodivergent sweethearts. We've been selling at a local farmer's market for around three years now, and get so much nourishment from being a safe and welcoming meeting space for local queers. Hopefully Etsy will eventually help our artwork reach like minded friends in farther flung places, too. We hope you'll feel the love we put into each item, and all the joy we experience from sharing them.

Since 2006 Pittsburgh-based husband and wife Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth have run the Tugboat Printshop, a traditional printmaking studio where everything is made by hand, starting with the giant slabs of wood into which each of their images are carved. The Moon is their largest hand-carved relief print ever coming in at 36″ x 32″ (91 x 82 cm) and will printed using two colors. If you’re interested they documented the process of carving the beautiful illustration which is now available for pre-order, and I also recommend checking out their other prints. More

All my stamps are unique made with attention to detail. The stamp you recive may very slightly from the picture shown in the listing, such is the nature of it being carved by hand. All my stamps must be tested to ensure that the imprint is just right so a slight ink stain is normal. This does not affect the quality of the stamp. Made to order - production time + estimated delivery days I'm using 06-0,8 cm thick rubber. It is not necessary to wash stamps. Just reprint the stamp several times until the ink stops leaving a trace. If you want clean do it with moist baby tissue. Don't be suprised if your stamp takes on colors from inks. This is normal and will not affect. Never scrub or wipe your stamp. I will be happy to create a combine shipping of my stamps and prints so do not forget looking round my shop for the other stamps.
