Drive By Visit
Joseph Velasquez and Drew Iwaniw visited us last week with their mobile print studio....Drive By Press. Great to have them stop by and show us their ingenious system for fitting a complete print studio into the back of their van. They showed the quick set up...rolling their press out and ready to print in a matter of minutes. We got to see what they've been up to and show them work going on in our studio.
They are doing a inspired job of "spreading the ink". They have traveled 100's of thousands of miles around the country setting up at universities, colleges and public schools. They make printmaking accessible to young people through their hands-on demonstrations. I've been so impressed by what they are doing that I've almost packed my bag and run off with them.
