This is a small linocut that I did measuring 5×3 inches printed on heavy black card stock with metalic ink. I, personally have been using these as business cards and personalizing each one by using an extra thin metallic paint pen. My clients love the personal hand crafted nature of each card, as each card is a unique piece of art.

My first official showing for the Straw Castle t-shirt line. Nashville Clothing Co. invited me as well 7 other local designers to participate in their 3 year anniversary trunk show. I presented my Straw Castle line of t-shirts as well as my original lino-prints. This was a really good opportunity to present my vision for Straw Castle and get valuable feed back from men and women on the street. Thanks to the folks at Nashville Clothing co. and everyone who stopped in today!
