“His Mustache Wanted More out of Life”
archival print of original ink and watercolor illustration, 5X7 inches

Whew! I just posted my first print for sale in my etsy shop! Very exciting, as I’ve been wanting to do this for way longer than I care to admit.

Last year I bought an Epson R2400 pigment printer off a nice gal from craigslist. Since then, I’ve been waiting to get some material together to sell. This week, I tackled printing and fell down the rabbit-hole of color management. After a lot of frustration and many beers, I think I figured out all the settings.

I’m really surprised how awesome the quality of the print is. It looks almost identical to the original (which is hanging in my living room). I’m excited about being able to sell prints finally, because I have a hard time letting my little guys go.

    Thanks you guys! Nicole …. it is amazing how long it takes to start, even though it was actually pretty easy, labor-wise. Long on hand-wringing over things that don't matter, you know? Glad you like it Lulu!
