10,000 Print Escape Plan
Throughout 2025, I created over 10,000 individual prints — relief prints, linocuts, woodcuts, etc. This was all part of a grand personal project to completely replace my unhealthy social media and “doom-scrolling” habits with creative output. (My wife would probably have preferred that I take up jogging or yoga or something, but that’s another story.)
I wasn’t sure how much work I could do, so my first my goal was much more modest. 500 prints. Then 1,000. Then 2,500. Then at some point I actually figured out how to streamline my process and now I’ve got more prints than any one person should ever have.
The 10,000 prints are mini-relief prints, ranging in size from 3×5 index cards up to 8×10 paper size. All are hand-printed, dated, signed, editioned, stamped and sealed in a cellophane bag.
From the start, I knew this would be a community project — to prove all the work and effort was real, I would need to give it all away, all 10,000 prints, completely free.
And now, the time has come.
