I made a little zine:
In todays world it becomes a new issue to figure out where we come from. Not only in a place like the United States, where everyone is basically from another country, but also in Eastern European countries. This question arose due to fortunate political changes. Friends live scattered around the world and we visit them and we welcome visits. We make friends and build...
Thank you everyone for joining Rod and me at “Long Distance Creation Call” last Friday! We had a great time!

His work is filled with amazing details from everyday life surrounded by architectural shapes, patterns and perspectives packed in great three-dimensionality....

I’m posting about a zine/ magazine/ independent publication every day at The Post Family. Check it out.
I screen printed some 13” x 13” pillows. They are for sale at Post 27 in Chicago and online.
Last week I spend with Sonnenzimmer, a screenprinting studio in Chicago. I worked with Nick and Nadine on some projects, we bound books, organized, talked, ate good food and I got to use their autopress for screenprinting. Nick and Nadine are great people and their work is beautiful. When they don’t print they paint, make books and music. Make sure to check it all out...

Letterpress project “slow is splendid” in collaboration with Letterform. In the manner of exquisite corpse each one of us added to a composition in sequence. The only rules were to not look at what the previous collaborator had printed, only alter the color by adding ink to the existing color, and complete the project within 24 hours.

THE FOLLOWING OF ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER

This opportunity rapidly evolved into a self-initiated artist residency. Over the past year Ina has created a large portfolio including screenprinted and letterpressed works, small scale sculptural objects,...
