Recommended by Nikki(Fine Print Photographer & Content Publisher): This piece is a retelling of a folktale involving a heron, fish, and a crab. I’ve heard many versions of this story and I always wonder at how things would have gone differently for the characters if the heron had chosen to help, rather than manipulate and indulge. The fish would have lived, the heron would have been able to experience community, and the crab would be able to find peace. Lader's symbolic detail and careful chine-collé of colorful washi paper, elegantly walks the viewer through this story and its facets in one image.

Recommended by Nikki (Art Photographer / Marketing and Exhibitions Specialist):
As summer winds down, I am reminded of all the house chores I’ve left piled up, including washing the duvet. I love Langford’s humor around this chore. I sympathize laughingly with the person in the etching struggling in each scene to make the duvet fit inside the cover. This piece gives me a welcome lighthearted feeling as I look forward to the fall season.

Recommended by Emma (Marketing & Communications Manager): The vertical lines in this piece read as rain to me, and this is one of my favorite interpretations of rain in print. The varied droplets and lines make a beautiful pattern. The little creatures in their little worlds inspire the imaginative child in me.

Recommended by Emma (Marketing & Communications Manager): This piece is another small window into a vast world. The combination of textures and subtlest hints of color add so much interest with so few marks.
