made this cross flexagon today as an example for my book arts class—I love the way it cycles through the pages even though it made from just one piece of paper, book art magic #bookarts #artistsbooks #handmadebooks #flexagon #crossflexagon #collage #mixedmediabooks #paperstructures #paperart (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSab-JvlzS3/?utm_medium=tumblr

We all have dreams. Peaches wanted super buff arms and a swing that couldn’t miss. And to stomp around Tokyo fighting monsters. 🦔❤️🌍🦔❤️🌍🦔❤️🌍🦔❤️🌍🦔❤️🌍🦔❤️🌍🦔 - - - - - - #peachesthehedgehogcomic #peachesthehedgehog #peachesthehedgie #hedgies #hedgehogsofinstagram #hedgehog #comics #comicsandzines #cartoonist #minicomics #zines #onesheetbook #bookart #bookarts #bookartist #singlesheetcomic #onesheetcomics (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR48kGalLLJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

My copy of the catalog for Reclamation: Artists’ Books on the Environment just arrived and it’s a fantastic publication. The essays add so much to ones understanding of the work—I’m really excited to share it with my students this fall. #reclamationartistsbooksontheenvironment #artistsbooks #bookarts #sanfranciscocenterforthebook (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxWOZwHXU4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can’t make it to the San Francisco Center for the Book to see Reclamation: Artists Books on the Environment? Me neither—😩 but I’m very happy to share this lovely video walk through with you, and also, delighted to be included in this incredible exhibition with @pzimmermann @constellationstudios @ingebruggeman and so many more amazing artists—curated by Betty Bright (Independent Curator and Historian specializing in book art) and Jeff Thomas (Executive Director at San Francisco Center for the Book).

Marking a sad anniversary today in Orlando—taking a moment to remember the victims of the pulse shooting and also, still feeling grateful for the ways in which we came together as a community afterwards. Recently found out that one of my daughter’s closest friends, also an incoming student at Rollins, is a recipient of a 49 Angels scholarship from the #onepulsefoundation It’s an amazing foundation bringing life and opportunity out of death and loss. Please support them if you can. #pulseorlando #pulseanniversary #youmatter #orlandostrong #orlandostrong❤️💛💚💙💜 (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCEu4yBYjT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy #woodtypewednesday !!! I’m announcing a print sale for June— gotta clear out those flat files to make room for new prints! You can score these two timeless letterpress broadsides featuring some very pretty type from @virginwoodtype for only $10 each! I made them both for our print & book arts studio at Rollins to help build community and develop good recycling habits. To purchase, use the link in my profile or visit rachelsimmons.net/shop. Select just one shipping option for either print. Thanks! #letterpress #letterpressprinting #letterpresseducator #prints #printmaking #broadsides #virginwoodtype #woodtypewednesday #reducereuserecycle #creativity #studioposters #posters #artstudio #artteacher #arteducator #rollinsarts #rollinscollege #posterprints https://www.instagram.com/p/CP57eCQhSlL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Grateful to all my FLOCK collaborators over the years. You can help support this project by purchasing “BIRDS OF ALL FEATHERS CAN FLOCK TOGETHER,” a new poster (top left) based on this collaborative community project which engages communities across the US in birdwatching and collaborative printmaking. 25% of the proceeds from this print support the not-for-profit community print studio Central Print in St. Louis, MO where I spent a wonderful three days as a visiting artist in 2019. This digital print was made by scanning relief prints from FLOCK (top right) which were created by community collaborators from Lincoln, NE, Winter Park, FL Tampa, FL and St. Louis, MO (bottom squares). Prints are made on an Epson printer with archival ink on 13” x 19” watercolor paper. To purchase, use the link in my profile or visit rachelsimmons.net/shop. If you are interested in learning more about FLOCK or hosting this project in your community, please reach out! #birds #birdwatcher #birder #birdconservation #audubonsociety #savethebirds #featheredfriends #artasactivism #environmentalart #centralprintstl #sociallyengagedart #communityart #collaborativeart #flock #flocktogether #flockofbirds #prints #printmaking #printexchange #buildingcommunitythroughart #collegebookartassociation #printmakers #contemporaryart #digitalprintmaking #reliefprintmaking #midamericaprintcouncil (at Orlando, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3j67DB75i/?utm_medium=tumblr
