Houston’s own Burning Bones Press is at it again this year with an even bigger and bolder It Came From the Bayou! printmaking event, presented in conjunction with AIGA Houston. The event’s success last year—despite a too-small venue and an unexpected storm—has fueled this year’s jam-packed screen printing, letterpress, and woodblock showcase, thankfully in a larger venue.

Carlos Hernandez will be inking up limited edition prints with BBQ sauce once again alongside printmakers featured at last year’s event—Sean Starwars, local letterpress studio Workhorse Printmakers, and more. The Amazing Hancock Brothers will also be in attendance—who can forget their poetry reading and samurai-sword knighting ceremony from last year’s event?

For more printmaking indulgence, Burning Bones Press is hosting a pop-up art show at their studio for Tom Huck’s “The Hillbilly Kama Sutra” on Friday, April 26 from 6-9pm, the night before It Came From the Bayou. The woodblock suite is Huck’s first portfolio of prints in fifteen years.
