Get your bones dirty.

Step right in! You’ve found Dirty Bones, where we bring print to the people and nothing stays clean for long. We’re all about embracing the grime - the messy, imperfect sides of art & humanity making this all worthwhile, making good mischief and keeping our beloved city on its toes. If you’re lucky, you might spot us out in San Antonio, pressing sweet prints on the fly, or teaching sharp minds the tricks of the printmaking trade.

Take your time poking around these parts! However you cut it, we’ve got plenty of ways to roll up your sleeves and get them bones dirty.
