Combining antique 100 year old type with their own handcut wood or linoleum illustrations, these prints are bold and modern, mixed with down home charm, and a little circus thrown in for good measure.
Hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas, owners Christie & Caleb, founders of Roll & Tumble Press, print each piece themselves without the use of computers. Each color is hand set, and hand cranked on a 75 year old press.
If you’ve done printmaking before, you’ll know that for “You Are Here” the design has been set and printed 5 times – once for each color. That’s a lot of work. What’s more amazing is that these original prints are currently in their Etsy store for $30.
UPDATE: Roll & Tumble no longer has an Etsy store and we could not find anywhere to buy their work online. If you find a them…please let us know.
