Absolutely amazing work coming from Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth, the artists behind Pittsburgh, PA based Tugboat Printshop. Tugboat specializes in incredibly intricate woodcut prints, like the gorgeous 4 color woodcut printed wedding invitations shown above. A bit more from the Tugboat Printshop portfolio:
You can purchase select prints in the shop on the Tugboat site, and you can see more about their printing process both on their site and in their Flickr stream. I love looking at the in process and finished woodcuts, which are works of art in and of themselves. Swoon…

I love tugboat print shop! I’ve seen them at a few craft shows, and the prints are even more spectacular and impressive in real life! Really fun to see a more in depth look at their work. Thanks, Kristen for sharing!

Aren’t they awesome? Ooh, I’d love to see their work in person! I wonder if they’ll be doing any craft shows in the Boston or Rhode Island area anytime soon?
I love their work! I met them at Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco, and their prints in person are amazing! And they both are wonderful too
Love Tugboat Printshop! Paul and Valerie are so great. And as a fellow printmaker, I am always so impressed with their skills!
