I've neglected my blog. I will do better to keep this blog updated.

December was great. Team Nerd Press sold posters and postcards at Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago and Hovercraft, Counter-Craft, and the Milwaukee Repertory Theater Gift Fair, all in Milwaukee. Thank you to everyone who came out and bought handmade goodies from us.

I'm really excited to be working with Celine Farrell on Grove Gallery in Milwaukee's Walker's Point Neighborhood. Celine has restored her 1875 building to much of it's original luster and I've been fortunate to start my letterpress print shop in the northwest corner of the building two years ago. The opportunity to develop a gallery with her in the building and contribute to the creative culture of the neighborhood is something we're all looking forward to at Grove Gallery.

We are located at 832 S. 5th St between Walker and National Avenue, across the street from the Walker's Point Center for the Arts. Celine will be hosting an exhibition of her sculptures starting on April 15th. The details are below, but if you'd like to keep up with all the latest events and announcements, go to www.gallerygrove.com for more information. Cheers!

Opening Receptions: Friday, April 15th, 2016 from 5-9 pm and Saturday, April 16th, 2016... Continue reading »

Happy New Year everyone! 2015 was the sophomore year of operating this brick & mortar print shop and I'm happy to report, Team Nerd Press will continue it's collaborations and services for a third year in Milwaukee.

I'm actively searching for groups and individuals looking for brilliant letterpress posters this year. I encourage all of you to reach out to the people in your neighborhoods, workplaces, and online communities. The more connections we make, the more problems we solve. Broaden your mind, take a risk, and stay up on the news. Let's expect more from each other this year.

I'm immersed in making New Posters and Cards for the Hover Craft. Save your paychecks for this creative Bonanza, Midwesterners. I'm excited to see what all my fellow Milwaukee Artists and Craftspeople have to offer!

Welcome Nerds!

This is my first blog post on my website. Expect lots of Blog Posts.

While you're here, I'd like to tell you about my band, the Dry Points. We're a band of printmakers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Have you ever doodled over someone's face, like in a yearbook or newspaper? We do the same thing, but we do it with over 25 distinct printmaking and mark-making techniques. It's lots and lots of fun!

Over the course of a year, we've been working on our third album, "Ghost Prints". We took found steel-engraved portraits of Milwaukee's pioneers and created 30x40 inch one of a kind mixed-media prints. There's six of us in the band, 87 prints total, and a lot of stuff to look at!

If you live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin or are visiting between September 19th-October 16th, you can view the whole body of work at Milwaukee City Hall during business hours. There's an opening party as part of... Continue reading »
