CHECK OUT THIS NEW PAINT KIT!
A while back I created an 8-color reduction print inspired by a quote from Bad Bunny:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”
I filled it with Puerto Rican-inspired flowers, foliage, and a tiny coquí frog tucked into the artwork as a little love note to culture, beauty, and resilience. After printing the full-color edition, I pulled fresh black key-block prints on dreamy 110 # Cranes Lettra paper and started wondering… what if people could paint their own?
So I reached out to the wildly talented folks at Beam Paints — an Indigenous woman-owned watercolor company creating handmade paints from natural pigments and tree sap on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. I printed designed and printed custom paint cards and shipped them off along the posters, and they sent back these absolutely gorgeous little paint sets that honestly feel like magic.
Now these DIY paint kits are headed out into the world so people can gather around a table, drink wine, make a mess, paint with friends, and create something meaningful with their own two hands. Get yours here: https://www.mcbrunopress.com/things/p/bbpaintkit
Old-school letterpress meets handmade watercolor joy. It feels WAY better than doomscrolling and you can pop it in a frame and dazzle folks with your talent! ❤️
Can’t wait to see how people bring these posters to life. Tag me when you paint yours because I wanna see EVERY version.
