Drawing in the Rain, a Letterpress Print by Suzy Ultman

Suzy Ultman’s latest piece, Drawing in the Rain, is all about springtime, and I welcome any and all paper lovelies that welcome a season of warmer weather and blooming flowers after what has been a very long and cold winter!

Inspired by Gene Kelly, one of her childhood heroes, and his iconic Singin’ in the Rain dance routine, the whimsical composition is filled with Suzy’s wonderful illustrations, as well as beautiful, watercolor-y textures and a pink and gray color palette that reminds me of the illustrations from one of my favorite children’s stories, The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown.

This special piece was printed by Igloo Letterpress and is a part of their Move Our Igloo Kickstarter campaign, which will help the Igloo move to a bigger space and to add dedicated space for local community classes and public projects. The campaign is in its last week, and they’re over halfway to their goal, so head on over and check it out.

Igloo Letterpress will also be selling Suzy’s Drawing in the Rain as a card (shown below), and I can’t wait for that!
