No shortcuts, just a squeegee.

A screen.
A sheet.
A steady hand.

I'm Simone. I draw what I see around here, then print it one color at a time. Every sheet passes through my hands. Every edition stops at fifty.

Ink you can feel.
A number in pencil.

Tiny gaps in the ink. A soft cotton edge. Simone signs and numbers every finished sheet by hand.

October's print

The patient heron.

Still as a fence post. Watching the shallows. A study in the kind of patience a river teaches you.
