I'm realizing I never posted my finished murmuration prints! The backgrounds are one-of-a-kind monotypes, the murmuration is 4 layers of metal type. I asked my friends their favorite swear words then "hid" them in there 🙂

I don't need a calendar to know it's spring... I just wait for the robins and red-wing blackbirds to show up!

What are your favorite signs of spring?

Thanks John!

I'm finally working on an idea I've had for 5 yrs! I'm recreating a murmuration using spent type (like in my crow print). Pictured are 2 (out of 4) of the forms I'm using & a few monotypes I've started printing on. Yay!

Same printing process as Hatch! (they were partial inspiration)

Thanks! I’m not a morning person, so I tried to make something that would motivate me to get up 😂

Chris • Moon Rabbit Press @moonrabbitpress.bsky.social · Dec 11

I feel the same, and I love seeing what everyone else is doing. So inspiring!

Just like my brain can’t keep up with knowing when I’m full - I never realize it until it’s too late. 🫨

By far, my most popular print. I’ve made many versions of this over the years. I’m sold out of the original print, but I have reproductions online!
