This woodblock print was inspired by a few things... first and foremost the coolest fishing net I ever found. This past summer we were thrifting for some outdoor gear to use in our second location in Douglas, when we stumbled upon a big metal fishing net. Sarah, my tall and thin friend, was holding it and BOOM I just saw her as a frog going fishing. I knew I had to bring it to life.
The energy behind the print is inspired by my childhood self, up north on Lake Michigan, racing down the beach to the natural spring turned pond to take a stab at catching frogs. It was my little happy spot and I felt so slick every time I held onto one of those slippery suckers.

We're not some big ol' corporation, we're pretty small actually, and we like it that way!
We use water base ink on high quality garments because we value the longevity of our products just as much as the art we print on them.
