WHY SEAN JOINED THE POSSE

I’ve been really excited to work with Speedball and to be a part of the Print Posse ever since I saw how closely they worked with my friends  Carlos Hernandez and Bill Fick in formulating new products and how strongly they have supported the printmaking community. Speedball is a great company with a ton of really good people working for them. It’s an honor to be a part of the Print Posse and  I cant wait to see how some of the upcoming products are gonna help everyone enjoy printmaking even more than they already do!!!

Sean’s Limited Edition Posse Relief Printing Ink, “GUIDED BY GREEN”

“I chose the name, ” Guided by Green” as a nod to my all time favorite band, Guided by Voices. I have made hundreds and hundreds of woodcuts, every single one was made with Guided by Voices blaring loudly in the background. The color green was inspired by my lifelong passion for Mountain Dew which has given me the energy to carve all of those woodcuts!”
