"Buckshot prints got started when I built a new studio at the compound. We had the old studio building so we decide to build out a state of the art print studio. Shortly after that a lot of my friends started coming through to print. We decided to offer the prints on line and it started growing and became a business.
My first print was an etching I pressed in about 1989. I messed with some offset printing and block printing as well. I was very familiar with screen printing from the early Third Rail days so fine art printing was a natural progression." - Risk
