It’s super cool to find #printmaking friends here (something I never really did on twitter!) My name is Alexis, and I’m a printmaker and illustrator specializing in relief prints. I live just outside of Washington DC with my husband Ben and our two black cats, Lumi and Sully.
I know there are a lot of problems in the world, but my heart breaks a little every time I see another artist finally succumb to using AI.

Been printing a lot of new things in prep for a shop update. Death’s head hawk moths on purple rag paper, new editions of my claddagh and magnolia hand prints. Lots of other things I haven’t photographed yet. Gravitating toward shades of green and “pretty things” for this year.

Did some test prints for Valentine’s garlands on glitter card stock. Going to see how long it takes for the ink to dry down, but it sure does look rad.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it's been

My favorite thing about looking at almost any website on a phone in the year 2026 is that the page will randomly stop loading because of all the ads on it and then you can never finish reading whatever it was you were looking at. #maketheinternetusableagain

A new carving and a sentiment I’ve been thinking about a lot.

Every few weeks, the person who was the first one to talk to me at freshman orientation in college 25 years ago (and I haven’t seen since graduating) sends me random memes on Instagram that make her think of me, and I think that’s nice.

A running joke with @patterned.bsky.social is that neither of us know what HAMNET is and we both aggressively refuse to look it up.

My mother in law gave me a giant 3 lb chocolate Santa for Christmas, and every few days I’ve been carving off a chunk and then cutting that down into smaller pieces to eat and have begun referring to this process as “harvesting and processing Santa”

My mother in law kept talking about wanting Coors Light and we picked some up on the way over today, so now I’m having a post-Christmas Coors Light.
