⚽ Having a kick making folded prints. Dana Cromie’s Math Kicks, is now on view at Paneficio Gallery!

This project took some extra thinking on both sides: double-sided printing, careful alignment, archival pigment prints on cotton paper, and then a lot of meticulous cutting, folding, and gluing by the artist.

Dana combines images and geometry for a playful kick around polyhedron concepts. These classic balls are truncated icosahedrons, each created from a single manipulated image that is transformed into a sculptural form from a 2D print. If you know anything about a Mercator projection, this isn't an easy task with a delicate fine art print.

We were fortunate to work with Los Angeles based photojournalist Barbara Davidson () to bring this powerful photograph into its final printed and framed form. The work has been shortlisted for the “Documenting Humanity” World Report Award 2026. This and other shortlisted works can be viewed at . Winners will be announced May 26, 2026.

We printed Barbara’s photograph on Canson Infinity Baryta Prestige II using our PRO12 inkset, then archivally mounted and framed it with AR70 glass in a black wood frame.

Thank you, Barbara! 📸🙏

"Smoke and flames fill the street as a motorcyclist cuts through the chaos, waving a Mexican flag while a car burns beside him on Atlantic Boulevard in Compton, directly facing a line of armed sheriff’s deputies. Hours earlier, on June 7, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had detained multiple people at a nearby Home Depot, igniting protests that rapidly spread across the city. As unrest intensified, officials imposed a citywide curfew, and the confrontation marked the beginning of a week-long series of clashes between thousands of demonstrators and ICE agents, the LAPD, and the National Guard. It unfolded against a broader backdrop of fear and upheaval as immigration raids and detentions continued to impact communities nationwide." – Barbara Davidson

✨ Production spotlight: Christian Nicolay

We were thrilled to collaborate with Christian Nicolay on Perpetual Navigation: Borders without Boundaries, created for the Splash Art Auction in support of Arts Umbrella.

This was a unique production challenge: printing a pigment ink layer directly onto Christian’s already worked surface, then returning the piece to him for further drawing, painting, collage, stitching, and handwork.

At PrintMaker Studio, we work closely with artists to provide thoughtful production solutions that support the vision, material process, and final artwork. Ask us how we can support your art practice!

The base paper layer is Canson Infinity ARCHES® BFK Rives® (310gsm) the work brings together digital pigment printing and Christian’s material process. The paper’s soft, handmade presence and 100% cotton, mould-made surface made it an ideal support for a piece that moves between print, drawing, and object.

As a Canson Infinity Certified Print Lab, PrintMaker Studio supports artists with archival pigment printing, custom production, and boutique solutions for ambitious projects.

💫 New work by Derek Stewart!

We're thrilled to have helped with this vibrant piece. A 20x30" archival pigment print mounted to Dibond and finished with a brushed metal frame and AR70 glazing. The Dibond substrate works very well for Derek's energetic image as its appearance is very smooth and uniform.

Thanks, Derek!! ✨✨✨
