Yesterday I traveled to Durham, North Carolina to visit a prolific printmaker and artist, Bill Fick. He runs a print shop called Supergraphic which is outfitted with a huge offset litho press, a handful of etching presses for printing wood and lino-cuts, and an entire separate building called, "Super G Print Lab," for silkscreen and some relief printing. The main Supergraphic studio is surrounded by enormous walls of glass windows which made the entire print shop glow beautifully. It was truly an amazing space. While I was there I got to see some of Bill's work and he also showed me his newest lino-cut of a super cool cat/human creature that he had just recently printed. (I've included it in the photo gallery above.) While Supergraphic functions more as a private studio where Bill and co-director Brian Garner print their own work as well as editions for other artists, the Super G Print Lab offers studio time and materials for rent to shop certified artists as well as a variety of workshops. If you're in the Durham area and have any interest whatsoever in print, this is a great place to stop by.
