    Mid-America Print Council 2010 Conference 10/14 to 10/17

     We will be attending our first MAPC conference next week – with more than 500 printmakers participating, it’s sure to be exciting!  The schedule is jam-packed with lectures, demonstrations and exhibits. 

    One don’t miss event is the “Printmaking Pig Circus” which will entail printmakers printing woodblocks, etchings and lithos on shirts and paper for conference attendees.  Portland Intense Black Relief Ink and Portland Cool Black Etching Ink will be joining the circus as demo colors.  It will be a great chance to see the inks in action and take home some artwork too!

    If you will be at the event, please stop by our booth at the vendor fair and say hello.  We are looking forward to answering questions about our etching and relief inks.  Samples will be available for anyone who would like to test-drive them.

    Some of our favorite art materials retailers will also be attending the vendor fair if you would like to take some ink home with you or have some shipped.  McClain’s and Takach are a great resource for shipping materials.  Wet Paint and Utrecht have our materials on hand locally.

    DRIVE BY PRESS visits Portland

    Ryan from Drive By Press printing at the Gamblin factory
    Many thanks to DRIVE-BY PRESS artists, Ryan O’Malley and Nick Alley, for visiting us at the Gamblin factory!  Ryan and Nick were gracious enough to come by and discuss contemporary printmaking practices and the work of Drive-By with local printmakers.  

    They also put on a one-day show from their extensive print collection right here at the factory.  Their print collection is full of incredible prints from artists working throughout the United States.  I highly recommend taking in a DBP talk or show if you get the chance. 

    Oh yeah, and they have a press in their car!  Truly impressive to see a fully functional print shop set up in under half an hour.  Many thanks for printing everyone the great shirts too . . . we love them.
