Houston -- Bayou

We showed the Desert Triangle in Houston, at the 5th Annual  "It Came from the Bayou" Inkslingers event, on Sunday, April 24th, at St Arnold's Brewery.

Last year I came to the previous "It Came from the Bayou" print fair, and was very impressed.  So I really wanted to come again.

STEAM ROLLER PRINTS

ROCKIN' ROLLIN' PRINTS 2016

In 2014, there was a steamroller printing event in El Paso during Chalk the Block.  Later those prints were shown at a museum in downtown San Antonio.  So Cynthia Evans signed up to do a steamroller print in Houston, and follow that tradition:
