Our new broadside is coming next week! We’re still printing, which is proving to be a bit of a sticky wicket (as you’ll see), but here’s a snippet for now. Any guesses?
About to hatch
Printing at Penland
When Jessica and I were in North Carolina last summer, we had just enough sightseeing time to squeeze in a short trip along the aptly-named Blue Ridge Parkway. Between the dappled sunlight, the lush Southern greenery, and the unexpected splashes of color, we were enchanted in an instant. (I, for one, was tempted to do …
Rose City gals
Seeing our stuff for sale at my all-time favorite bookstore makes me happier than I could ever see. If you’re in Portland, or you’re going to be, you can now find Dead Feminists postcards, lemonade journals and mini-prints at Powell’s City of Books! Last time I was there I found them in the Red Room. …
Signed, Sealed, Soapbox
It’s hard to ignore the news of protests, ahem, occupying the attention of cities around the world—of the many and diverse thousands of people unified under one simple, yet infinitely faceted mantra. As members of the, well, vast majority of folks without any real political or financial clout in the world, Jessica and I can …
Hush hush
Our next Dead Feminist is a mystery maiden, indeed. Just in case you think you recognize her…think again. All shall be revealed soon!

Jessica and I just got back from San Francisco, where we got to raise a fantastic ruckus and make guerrilla street art with a whole bunch of people looking on. It’s hard to think of anything better than that, actually. The San Francisco Center for the Book invited us to be among the featured artists …
We heart SF
Splurging on a giant bag of salt water taffy is probably a weird way to research a new project, but I swear it’s relevant. That’s right—Jessica and I are carving again. We’ve been invited by the good folks at the San Francisco Center for the Book (big shout-out to the amazing Rocket!) to be among …
Feminists of letterpress
Virginia Woolf said that “a room of one’s own” was essential for women to do creative work—so imagine what 150 women could do with such a room. Jessica and I got to unveil our newest broadside at the first-ever Ladies of Letterpress Conference in Asheville, NC, where we were asked to speak about our series. …
Paper Chase
Jessica and I are back from Asheville, with fresh memories of hazy heat and sweltering summer on our minds. Back home in Washington, however, we’re having the kind of chilly summer that demands a cozy sweater, a cup of tea and time spent curled up with a good book (and thanks to our sojourn in …
Revolving door
With both of us traveling all over the country lately, this summer has had us scattered to the four winds. We’ve hardly seen each other all season, but we did manage to squeeze a little printing into our schedules between trips. There’s just one compass point left to explore: Jessica and I are off to …
