I draw my designs, cut my linocuts, turn them into screen prints, and print it all by hand.

Each color of the card is one pass of printing. I let it dry and then go over it with the next color.

I feel that each card or t-shirt is like a piece of artwork and that it makes your note or your expression of love for the ukulele extra special.

I am also interested in doing my part to protect the planet and have a low impact on the environment.  Whenever possible, I use eco-friendly materials, recycled paper and even pedal my products to the local post office.
