Jake Early’s design work and printmaking have earned him much acclaim. A California native, Early produces unique serigraphs on the printing press he designed and built in his Chico California studio. His simple illustrative style, bold color pallet, and strong depiction of place all resonate with collectors. Early’s trademark is his use of metallic inks, created by mixing powdered metals into a clear ink base. These inks capture and reflect natural light, shifting the mood of each print as lighting conditions change.
