HEY! We had the folks from JBL (Southern California’s most esteemed purveyors of hi-fi equipment) over to the studio to film us printing a special JBL-themed poster! And they took so many great photos of us and the studio that we thought we ought to share them here! Thanks to @micah.s__ for these pics and to the whole JBL team for hanging out! #artstudio #printmakingart #printshop #jbl #jblflip #screenprint #serigrafía #siebdruck #serigraphie

HEY! Attention Southern Californians: we’re having a combination Open Studio/Pop-up event at our new studio in Yucca Valley as a part of Highway 62 Art Tours THIS WEEKEND (and also NEXT WEEKEND)!!! That’s right—you can come and check out our new space, AND visit the studios of over a hundred other artists & designers throughout the hi-desert! Make a special day out of it! Take your picture next to a Joshua tree and tell someone, “You’ll never guess where I am,” even though it will be plainly obvious! We’ll have a couple of special new things available (plus the rest)! Visit @hwy62arttours for all the info! Thanks, friends! #artiststudio #printshop #joshuatree #serigrafia #snoopyfan #hidesert

Our latest 8x10” storefront is a tiny movie theater, showing the most eclectic lineup of movies you’ve ever seen, plus mouse and strawberry patrons and a snack bar overflowing with goodies! And because we can’t help ourselves, we’re also releasing two alternate versions with different movies on the marquee! Prefer “Godzilla” or a Kyoshi Kurosawa double feature over “Lawrence of Arabia” and “The Red Shoes?” No problem—we’ve got you sorted! #cinema #cine #screenprint #snoopylover #serigrafia

HEY! Today’s the anniversary of the release of “STUDIO,” the first of our books for children, written by @helloemilyarrow . 📕📗📘📙 This one was a real labor of love (though, aren’t they all?), because artists and artists’ studios are very personally resonant for us (obviously •⩊•). We wanted to share with kids the excitement of that feeling of visiting a real art studio, with all of the art *stuff* and all of the activity. THANK YOU to everyone who helped us make it and especially to all of you who enjoyed it! #kidslit #childrensbook #bookillustrator #artstudio

HEY! Here’s some fun stuff we made for the team at JBL! It’s a whole box of camp-themed goodies they commissioned as a thank you to their employees, and it’s absolutely covered with little camp-going characters! Neat, huh?🌲🌲🌲🛶🛶🛶 Now, these aren’t available to the public, so if you want one, you’ll have to start studying right now and become a world-class audio engineer and really distinguish yourself and then eventually move to Northridge, CA— So, hurry up and get started!

It’s Maker Sunday, and we’re keeping things bright and bold with The Little Friends of Printmaking! 🌈✨ We’ve always been obsessed with how they balance complex, overlapping colors with a clean, retro aesthetic. There’s a sense of humor and whimsy in everything they do—whether it’s a giant cat or a meticulously drawn workspace. It’s the kind of work that reminds you not to take things too seriously and just enjoy the process. Check out some of our favorite prints from their portfolio in the carousel. Do you prefer their more minimal designs or the super detailed scenes? 💬 #SupportArtists #Printmaking #LittleFriendsOf #RetroDesign #MakerMovement

HELLO FRIENDS! We’re popping up at @vavavashop in Centro on TUESDAY, NOV 18, from 3-6pm! Did you miss us at @flatstock Corona Capital 2025??? Or, did you see us there but then you were having way too much fun at Chappell Roan and you fell asleep in a ditch and only remembered you wanted a poster as your friends were dragging you into an Uber at 3:00am??? Well, this is your second chance to get something before we head back home to California! Roll on through and say hello! #popupshop #cdmx #serigrafia #poster #illustrator
