Back to our roots
Started in 1987, screen printing T-shirts on the fly in parking lots and hotel rooms on Dead tour, Homegrown Press didn't have a name until 1991, when John married his wife, who gives this website, and his life, form, function and grace. They have two grown sons they love dearly.
John learned to carve linoleum block prints at University of Kentucky, then wood engraving at the annual Larkspur Press workshop. He is happy to get back to printmaking to make work that is more accessible to more people. New blocks are being carved for the new year.
Also in the works:
T-shirts of our logo. A book collecting John's most recent poetry. A retrospective exhibit featuring 20 years worth of painting, 10 years of stop motion filmmaking, and a gazillion posters. Maybe he'll even get the band back together.

Paintings
John is taking an extended hiatus from painting to focus attention on Homegrown Press in celebration of its 30 years of existence by printing all of his previous blocks and carving new ones. We will be putting up a gallery of some favorites from his 20 years of painting soon.

Giving Back
Artists don't always make a lot of money during their first 30 years, so they help out causes they appreciate by donating their time and/or art. John and his wife Jenny have produced a decent number of posters for events for common good over the years, and continue that work by donating 10% of profits to a different charity each quarter.

Upcoming Book of Poetry
Check back soon for updates on the preorder for John's book of insomnia poems from the past few years (sleeping is overrated), or just sign up for our periodic newsletter here
