Patreon Printmaking Pals’ – Prints of 2023 (so far)

Over on my Patreon I have a tier called the Printmaking Pals who receive a new, handmade print done by me each month. I started this tier as a way to further explore and intentionally make time and space for printmaking.

For this year, I decided to do a theme inspired by Trickster Spirits and so each print of the month is of a trickster hero or character from folklore. I also include limited colour editions of each print run that are randomly given out to Printmaking Pals' tier members!

Instead of making a post for each print, I thought I'd do one big post to share all of the prints of 2023 so far to play catch up. 🙂
