My La Calaca International Print Exchange has arrived!

My La Calaca International Print Exchange has arrived! This is one of my favourite exchanges to participate in. Below are just a selection of the prints. The only drawback is that most people just sign the prints and don't send any other info. so I'm not able to search for them online. Do you recognize any of yours in this bunch?

La Calaca Print Exchange

Yeah! This year's submission to the La Calaca International Print Exchange is done and has been mailed off. I did a linocut again this year but this time my preparatory drawing was digital. I really like this skeletal couple and I hope it brings a smile to those printmakers that will receive it. As always, I can't wait to see what I get in return because the quality of the prints have always be great. What about you? Do you have a favourite print exchange?

My La Calaca Print Exchange has arrived.

Guess what I got in the mail the other day? My selection from the La Calaca  International Print Exchange! In exchange for this linocut, I got a fantastic set of skeleton prints done by people from all over the world. This has been the second year that I've participated in this show and I've been really impressed with the quality of prints. If you would like to see a daily dose of printed skeletons you can "like" the La Calaca Press on Facebook. Very inspiring. 

This trio are my favourites from what was sent to me. The print techniques from left to right are: etching, linocut, and lithograph. What's your favourite?

La Calaca Press print exchange

  A whole year has passed since I submitted my print for the La Calaca International Print exchange. The Day of the Dead theme is fantastic and I love sketching out ideas for it. I created a few ideas that I will re-work into other mediums but the image below will be my submission for the exchange.

Mmmm......Brains
