Wandering through art spaces opened for Phoenix’s annual Art Detour event, my friend Anne and I stumbled across Steamroller Sunday.
Artists had carved large designs into plywood and covered them in ink. A steamroller rolled over the top, pressing the inked designs onto sheets of canvas.
I started taking video of one artist getting his stamp ready and ended up recording the whole process, because, really, how often do you see art being made with construction equipment?!
You can check it out (condensed to 1 minute) above or on YouTube.

That is awesome. And I love the prints.
Yeah, there were so many awesome designs!
That is the most brilliant printmaking idea EVER!!!
Seriously! I’d love to hear how they came up with it.
