Splish Splash

This frog is taking an inky bath!

Tidy

How does a skunk’s fur stay silky smooth? The secret is good old-fashioned printmaking ink, which restores their coat to a lustrous black. Tidy illustrates that even intensely aromatic creatures need a spa day!

Acorn

The chipmunk Acorn is well attuned to the finer points of art-making. When not busy at the bird feeder or gathering nuts for the winter, Acorn dons an apron and visualizes a creative masterpiece.

Slinky

The cobra Slinky enjoys a refreshing dip in the ink can. It’s the best way for an artistic serpent to unwind. Slinky remains poised, and the printmaking brayer is ready for when inspiration strikes!

Smudge

The raccoon Smudge is one trash panda that loves getting dirty and doesn’t shy away from mischief in the print shop. Smudge makes a great first impression, even when caught in the ink jar!
