Dave Lefner

I've mentioned my admiration for artist Dave Lefner before. Los Angeles based artist who focuses on a style of printmaking called lino reduction. I was "in like" with printmaking before Dave but once I saw his work in person I fell madly, deeply in love and ended up going back to school to learn this technique which then lead me to letterpress. I do what I do today because of him, so forgive me if I'm a little over the moon at this video.

    Thanks Patricia.

    Dave and I have chatted before. I almost was able to hire him for a corporate job I had lined up. sadly timing didn't permit us to do so.

    hope to see you at the artwalk
