About my art
Hand-pulled Prints - $15 – $100
My hand-pulled prints (8 x 10, 9 x 12, 11 x 14) are printed in ink on dictionary, bible, atlas and other recycled paper. Each print is floated on black, acid-free matboard; packaged in a clear, removeable wrapper; and priced between $15 and $100.
The 8×10 prints shown here on the left Black Capped Chickadees, and Salmon School are each 8 x 10 and sell for $20; the “wordy” print to the right is 9×12 and sells for $35. You can see and/or search for all my prints in the 
“Browse my prints” section (you can even search by price) and you can order by e-mailing me at jesselarsen@comcast.net.
Since this is a blog-type site, each print and/or photo is a post and you will need to view “older entries” to see all my prints. The copy protections shown on this site are on the digital images only.
Print Reproductions – $5 – $10
Magnets:
These are ivory colored business-card sized magnets and sell for $5. Each one has a print and a quote, both of which you can see in the Browse my Prints section.
Belllingham Dogs and their Cookies: The photo to the right is the 1st edition of this book featuring Vermont and family Dogs; Bellingham Dogs is the second edition and features dogs who live(d) with people in Bellingham who support the all-volunteer Alternative Humane Society. Each book is 4 x 5″ and contains 10 dog prints, a short story about each dog, a dog-cookie recipe, and a dog-bone cookie cutter. $10.
Perpetual Calendar: (better photo forthcoming) These wall calendars are 5 x 8. Each month has a dog print and a quote, along with space to write birthdays and anniversaries for that month. These calendars are designed to be used every year, any year so you don’t have to copy special dates into your new calendar every year. $5.
About me:
If we haven’t met, my name is Jesse Larsen. I am a working-class artist, writer, and organizing coach who has lived all over the US, including two ten-year stints in Seattle and eight years in Vermont before I moved to Bellingham in 2004. I earned a BA and an MFA in Writing and Literature and started carving rubber block prints after my 50th birthday. This photo of me was taken by my friend, Cynthia St. Clair on October 1, 2011 at the Bellingham Farmer’s Market where I sold my prints from a tiny display that I took to and from the market on the #331 bus every Saturday from April through mid-October.
I’ve been carving rubber block prints of things and beings I love for 18 years. My collection includes two cats, dozens of good dogs, some of the little birds my mother loved to watch, a few wonderful shoes, several musical instruments, an assortment of household items that I find beautiful, and a scattering of animals, trees, and twigs I love to see
About my writing:
To date. I have several tons of unpublished work but still just one published book, 500 Great Books by Women, A Reader’s Guide (Viking-Penguin, 1994). This book was the product of an independent study project I began when I was an undergraduate at Antioch University in Seattle, and that I wrote and edited in collaboration with Erica Bauermeister and Holly Smith. You are invited to read my musings about doing this book on my Writing page
