Another gem from the collection of Mr. Colin L. Fox.


Based in Pittsburgh PA,Tugboat Printshop, is the husband and wife duo Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth. They produce beautiful hand-drawn, hand-carved, and hand-printed woodblock prints. We love how they also include photos of their process, very cool to see!


First of all, our apologies for being terrible with posting over the past three months.  Many excuses could be made, however we’ll save you the time of reading them, and just say that our nest needed some reorganizing.  We’re looking forward to getting back to our regular posting this week.

Wishing you the best,

Co-Squirrel
