Following the success of last year’s popular “Strike Your Fancy” matchboxes featuring cats drinking at the bar, I have released a follow-up set, this time with dogs! They aren’t getting drunk like their feline counterparts, but they do poke fun at the complicated personalities of us humans.

These matchboxes are printed by hand in my home studio using a custom-made registration jig. Each color is printed with oil-based intaglio ink using the unique woodblock printing process, which is illustrated in the video below. They even come with tiny certificates of authenticity that rest inside the matchbox tray!

    I consider books the best way to experience art. I've spent decades studying books about the art, mythology, religion and history of cultures from across geography and time. Entirely self-taught, I look to works by German Renaissance printmakers, Flemish primitives, abstract expressionists, Japanese woodblock artists, and Mughal painters for inspiration. I also frequently incorporate religious iconography from Europe, Asia, and Pre-Columbian Latin America with revolutionary propaganda from around the world. With a distaste for ironic art or the thoughtless appropriation of culture, I integrate seemingly unrelated images in search of something universal. I do not create any of my art digitally; everything comes from my own hand.

    When you're a pug and no one ever gave you anything except for breathing issues and you just want them to feel sorry for you
