Ink ledger · Providence, Rhode Island Stock counted by hand

Giclée prints · risograph zines · sticker sheets · original ink drawings

Ink first. Then the count.

Five things live in this ledger: giclée prints pulled from an inked original, risograph zines folded the night before, die-cut sticker sheets, boxed greeting card sets, and ink drawings that exist only once. Every number is written by hand and updated the day something sells.

The table, mid-morning. Ink, nibs, and yesterday's proofs still on it.

The count

Ink in the line. Count in the margin.

Five lines, five ways to take a piece of the studio home. The number beside each one is the count on the shelf — no estimate, no rounding, kept as carefully as the drawings are.

Prints are editioned. Originals never come back.

Editioned

Prints numbered in the same hand that drew them.

Every giclée starts as an ink drawing on the table and ends as pigment on cotton rag. The editions stay small, the sheets are checked one at a time, and each print is numbered by hand before it goes into its sleeve.

When a print run closes, I rule the line off. It doesn't reopen.

Risograph & vinyl

The playful half of the ledger.

Short runs, bright ink and paper that still smells faintly of the machine. Zines and sticker sheets are the quick, inexpensive way to send work out into the world — and the two lines in the ledger that move fastest.

Risograph zines

41

Two colors, printed in short runs, then folded and stapled by hand at the studio table.

Sticker sheets

76

Die-cut vinyl on a single sheet, made to be stuck on a laptop lid, a water bottle or a notebook.

One of one

Original ink drawings, counted in singles.

Drawn in ink on paper. No edition, no reprint, no second one — whatever the line does the first time is what stays on the sheet.

When an original sells, its number goes to zero and the line closes for good. What is still on the table is written in the margin, next to the print counts, in the same column.

A drawing takes an afternoon. The count takes one stroke of the pen.

Closing balance

Restock notes, written at the end of the day.

Prints and zines come back when a new run is pulled or a new zine is folded. Originals never do — once a drawing leaves the table, its line in the ledger stays closed.

  • PrintsBack with every new edition pulled from the table.
  • ZinesBack with each risograph run, usually in short bursts.
  • OriginalsNever restocked. Once the line closes, it stays closed.

Counts move as work sells. Pencil first, ink once a number settles.
