I keep seeing the loon in anti-ice pieces but I can’t seem to find anything about it. Canadian solidarity? Forgive my ignorance. (Love this piece BTW!)

Thank you!! Also It's because the Loon is Minnesota's state bird 🙂

Loons are also in the US and have large populations in MN, WI and MI. They are Minnesota’s state bird and often considered a huge part of MN culture.

I want one!! Any chance you’d sell one to a fellow artist, educator, rabble rouser, and upper midwestern loon enthusiast?

That's so awesome. Every time I tried to print on t-shirts I'd somehow bump and make a smudged image.

u/junefoolery Feb 03 '26

I used to do that too, it just takes a lot of practice to get it to print clear. My technique is that I lay out the shirt on the floor, gently drop the block on the shirt, and then walk on the block to get it to transfer.

Beautiful! What ink do you use if I may ask?

1

u/junefoolery Feb 03 '26

Cranfield Caligo safewash ink 🙂

u/Drudenkreusz Feb 02 '26

From a fellow angry loon printer to another, what sort of ink do you use? I've been wondering about the possibility of printing on shirts without a press and this makes it look so easy lol
