Did you know that Yakima Valley farmers produce about 75% of the nation’s hops —only coming in second in the world after Germany?! It attracts hop enthusiasts and brewers from all parts of the world during harvest season! (If you don’t believe me, come out to visit the valley during the month of September—you’ll come across people from all corners of the world.)

And thanks to all the trabajadores in the valley, this is possible. After all, if it wasn’t for this region’s agricultural workers, there wouldn’t be any hops nor cerveza.

*Calaveritas and Hops is a print that was created as ONE my annual 2021 Día de muertos prints. So yes, it’s literally fresh off the press.

The design was sketched and carved by hand, then printed with traditional oil based printmaking ink onto 100% cotton, acid free paper. Each piece will be titled, signed and labeled as a Variable Edition out of 17. 

*This block is printed on white Stonehenge 250 gsm paper, and the hops and Calaverita designs are individually hand painted with watercolor paint.

Each print is produced using a manual printing press, therefore, each print will be unique and may differ slightly from the pictured original. This is the beauty of linoleum block printing.
